Hello OpenAI team,
Thank you for clarifying in the recently closed discussion that the five-hour limit display was temporarily removed as part of an incident response and should return once the incident is resolved.
Could you please share any estimated timeline for restoring the five-hour limit?
I am currently on a Pro plan. While the five-hour limit is absent, usage appears to draw continuously from the weekly allowance, with no capacity restored after five hours. This makes me hesitant to use Codex normally because a long-running task could consume most or all of the remaining weekly allowance in only a few hours. It is quite uncomfortable to pay for Pro while feeling unable to use the service actively for fear of exhausting the entire weekly allocation.
Could you please clarify:
- When is the five-hour limit expected to return?
- Is it currently intended that nothing resets after five hours and usage continues directly against the weekly allowance?
- How should Pro users safely manage usage while this temporary incident response remains in effect?
- If an account exhausts its weekly allowance during this period, will affected users receive a reset or any other remediation?
- Is there an official status page or announcement channel where we can monitor restoration progress?
I understand that temporary measures may be necessary while an incident is being resolved, and I appreciate the team’s work. More guidance would be very helpful for users trying to plan their weekly usage responsibly.
Thank you.
