People are actually celebrating that OpenAI is apparently going to do a reset in 8 hours, while almost everyone is due for a weekly 6 hours after that anyway?

How are so many people still falling for these scam resets?

Just noticed Codex now shows a time for banked reset expirations, not only a date... which would mean instead of expiring at midnight GMT at the start of the expiry day, it'll only expire at 6pm that night, giving an extra 16 hours

If I trust that the time shown is accurate and it ends up expiring early, I'm gonna be real mad...

Anthropic: "Coding is largely solved"... Also Anthropic: "We released a new powerful feature allowing agents to send messages to other Claude Code sessions, but only on Linux and Mac since we are unable to implement a basic feature on all platforms"

I could hand code this feature on Windows in an afternoon, and I could also get Claude to implement it in minutes, and yet Anthropic just can't be bothered, but also keeps Claude Code closed source so no one else can do it for them either.

How many personal projects for your own use have you created using agents?

I'm interesting to hear how much other people are taking advantage of agents outside of work, and for projects that are only for personal use.

  1. Lifetime
  2. This year
  3. Average per month
  4. Past month

If you feel like it, you can also share some of the kinds of projects you have built for your own use, since the size/scope of each project would help put the number in perspective.

Simple workaround which fixes the apply_patch tool failing every file edit on Windows when using the Codex sandbox

Add to .codex/config.toml:

     [sandbox_workspace_write]
     exclude_slash_tmp = true

OpenAI still hasn't fixed the Windows sandbox apply_patch bug they introduced like 2 months ago, which causes every file edit to fail and wastes insane amounts of time and tokens, but if you ask Sol to create a minimal repro case for this Codex bug, cyber security safeguard shuts down your session

They won't fix the bug, and their API won't allow you to even create a test case to reproduce it if you want to fix it yourself.

Looks an awful lot like OpenAI is delaying the reset they promised so that it overlaps with the expiration date of the next banked reset, just like they did with the previous banked reset which I was forced to use a few hours before they did an unannounced forced a reset.

Smart right? They tell everyone a reset is coming so people don't use their banked reset, then keep delaying it so that either you use the banked reset hours before they force a reset, or they force a reset and the banked reset can't be used before it expires.

This post highlighting how terrible Codex usage limits are now is gaining traction. More people need to interact with posts like this so that they blow up and OpenAI can't ignore the issue any longer.

If anyone using the Codex Desktop app has not updated recently, it seems wise to hold off on updating until people stop constantly reporting terrible new issues

I haven't updated in the past 2 days because my app was more stable than usual after the last update I did and I was worried the next update could make things worse again.

After seeing the reports of new issues causing crashes and wiping data yesterday, I'm really glad I didn't update. Today I keep seeing endless reports from people with issues, apparently even worse after the voice update... people are unable to launch the app at all, chats are being lost, worktrees being wiped.

OpenAI disables comments on their new 'Building with Voice' announcement video after the comments were overrun with people complaining about quota reductions

The main Codex sub has locked all posts about quotas being reduced, bringing an end to the discussion. The mass public outcry will be buried by tomorrow. I was banned for this removed comment on the quarantine thread that is inconspicuously named "Codex Usage Limits and Performance Megathread".

u/sirlerkal0t — 28 days ago

All over Reddit and X, thousands of people are talking about how over the past few days quota has been draining incredibly fast with the same workloads, yet there are still people who think this is just "5.6 using more tokens" or "you're just used to the resets"

There are people using whole $200 Pro quotas in hours, many have bought new accounts and used multiple banked resets just in the last day. Even people who are still using 5.5 are saying their quota is suddenly used 10x faster. This is not normal. The weekly limit now feels like the old 5-hour limit. The removal of the 5-hour limit and all the resets OpenAI has been doing has just been covering this up until now.

Can someone help me out here, because the quota math ain't mathing...

Everything I see says on the $100 Pro plan, a full week quota is 6-8 fully maxed-out 5-hour sessions.

I used ~2 billion tokens since the last reset and that's my full weeks quota gone.

But I also used nearly 2 billion tokens on July 10, days before the 5-hour limit was removed. Even if there was a forced reset half way through July 10, there still wouldn't have been enough 5-hour sessions to max out a full weeks quota on that day. I also know for a fact I didn't come close to maxing out most of those 5-hour sessions, or the weeks quota.

There's only been a few times this year where I have come close to maxing out a 5-hour session, and I've never come close to maxing out a weekly limit before... pre-5.6 I rarely went over below 50% of my weeks quota.

I know I've been using more quota recently with orchestration-heavy workflows, but the math still ain't mathing. The weekly quota had to have been reduced?

It's been over a month now and OpenAI STILL has not fixed the apply_patch tool call under Windows Codex sandbox... This is a prompt my orchestration Sol sent to an implementing agent earlier. lmao

Sol is like... "maybe if I ask it nicely not to stall on the broken tool call"

u/sirlerkal0t — 1 month ago

How many tokens have you been able to use since the last reset?

I've used my weeks tokens on the $100 Pro plan and daily token activity shown in the Codex app shows I've used around 2 billion tokens in the past 2 days since the reset.

Anyone else have a substantial side project that has been running since 5.6 released and you just check in on it once in a while to make sure progress is still being made?

I told Sol this morning that the test it was running was taking far too long and using too much memory... Just checked back on it 16 hours later and it's still doing optimization passes to reduce memory usage :D

When you're minutes away from your next banked reset expiring and have 6 active sessions about to realize they've run out of quota but you really want to use every last token before resetting...

They really need to add decimal points to percentage left. 😂

It's honestly insane that Anthropic STILL has not added steer to Claude Desktop. Codex added the steer feature in January and I've used it countless times every day since. The fact that you cannot steer an agent in Claude Code and have to stop and interrupt the session is such terrible UX.

Steer was one of the most useful features that was ever added to agent harnesses, and such a massive UX improvement. It reduces friction, increases productivity, and avoids wasting tokens on interrupting sessions every time you need to steer an agent. What are they even doing at Anthropic?!?
