New usage caps for Plus users of Codex?

As the title implies, in the last week or so I have noticed a steep decline in the amount of usage that you can squeeze out of a 5h codex usage cap, or even a weekly one.

I have not changed the model, its speed nor its reasoning settings. And still, now a single code change prompt of 5.5 High at Standard speed consumed 16% of the 5h usage cap. And it's not like it refactored a whole project: just +158 -43 changes.

It's not that I can't lower the token usage by choosing different settings, it's that clearly something has changed in the background and as a consumer I feel OpenAI is following the shrinkflation trend in the shadows.

Is this the case? Or am I just an outlier?

Not a big fan of my bones breaking alone, but other than that it's alright.

Bidet options with backflow (UK)?

I'm exploring options for a bidet in my upstairs toilet. The space is pretty limited, but the major issue is the backflow risk.

Initially I was aiming for a hand-held hose, but it's not standard in the UK to split the main water feed (blue arrow) with a tee to both toilet and bidet (category 5). I have confirmed my case would be risky, since water can flow down if main stopcok is shut off, and water taps downstairs are open.

I would prefer not to have to do a big remodel. I was wondering what the options are, which so far seemed to me:

  • Build a backflow gap cistern and connect it to the hose. Would have low pressure, and it's a big bulky add-on for a limited space.
  • Connect the hose to a Tee and risk it. Not ideal.
  • See if I can find a WRAS-approved, with backflow prevention, bidet. Maybe one of those seat bidets? Ideally a non-electric, since there's no current outlet nearby.
  • Get a garden pressure sprayer and modify it, and then just refill and pump it manually?

Are there any better alternatives? Something worth considering?

PS: the red arrow is the boiler.
