I’m writing this with real frustration.
I’m on the $200 Pro plan, and my weekly limit was completely exhausted in 2 days of serious development work.
This is simply not viable. When someone pays for the highest consumer tier, the expectation is capacity for sustained, professional work — not being locked out for the rest of the week after two days.
Being blocked for hours already breaks a workflow; being blocked for days makes the tool unreliable for anyone doing real development rather than occasional queries.
What makes it worse is the framing. The plan is sold with language suggesting far more headroom than what’s actually delivered. In practice, the gap between what’s advertised for the higher tiers and what the weekly cap allows is hard to reconcile — and I know from the community I’m not the only Pro user hitting this wall far sooner than the price would suggest.
My questions to the team are direct:
Will the usage limits for higher tiers (Pro 5x/20x) be reviewed? The current cap makes longer, serious coding sessions impossible to rely on.
Can we get transparency on how the weekly cap is actually calculated, given that usage counters seem to move disproportionately to the real work done?
I want to keep using Codex — that’s why I’m on Pro.
But at these limits, the higher tiers are not sustainable for the exact professional workflows they’re supposed to serve. I’d genuinely appreciate an official response on whether this is being looked at.
Same… I went to bed last night and had around 70% remaining after a Saturday reset, came back this morning to see 0% remaining. Not like I had something running overnight, and yet all usage blocked until this next Saturday. Hard to trust a $200 / month service that is completely unpredictable about whether you’ll even be allowed to use it for most of the week and zero recourse for “is this an outage, or did the calculation just change? In any case, figure out something else to do for the next week.”
