The amount of BS bugs, problems there are makes using Codex and ChatGPT completely unusable, some chats do, some chats don't load, it works "fine" on the webbrowser on mobile, but webbrowser chats are completely frozen on desktop, mobile app is a mess, Codex "was" the only thing that worked properly on it before, now Remote is broken after the last update, daily handoffs are barely a temporary solution for ChatGPT chats permanently stuck loading out of nowhere on the app, I can't make any progress, I spend more time dealing with this BS then with my projects.

I'm on the ChatGPT Pro 5x plan, and I've been tracking Codex usage from the local rollout logs together with the server-side weekly used_percent.

Comparing a large workload immediately before the Aug 13 global reset with my usage after the reset, it looks like my effective weekly allowance may have dropped from roughly 18k credits to 10k credits — about a 44% reduction.

I'm curious whether other Pro 5x users are seeing the same thing.

Before the Aug 13 reset

On Aug 12–13, a Sol / medium orchestration ended up generating a very large amount of usage.

The rollout logs show:

Type	Uncached input	Cached input	Output	Raw total
GPT-5.6 Sol	13.297M	431.745M	0.830M	445.872M
codex-auto-review	2.090M	1.397M	0.006M	3.493M
Total	15.387M	433.142M	0.836M	449.365M

The ChatGPT profile page showed roughly 440M tokens on Aug 12, so the local rollout total is in the same ballpark.

Using the published Sol rate:

• uncached input: 125 credits / 1M
• cached input: 12.5 credits / 1M
• output: 750 credits / 1M

the Sol usage comes to:

7,681.3 credits

The server-side weekly limit went from:

• 24% used / 76% remaining at Aug 12 16:57 UTC
• to 67% used / 33% remaining at Aug 13 02:25 UTC

So approximately 43% of the weekly limit was consumed.

That implies:

7,681.3 / 0.43 ≈ 17,863 credits/week

So the conservative pre-reset estimate is roughly:

~17.9k credits/week

This was still before the global reset reached my account; the server was still reporting 67% used at 02:57 UTC.

After the reset: Aug 20

After the reset, I deliberately tried to reduce usage by routing more work through cheaper models such as Terra and Luna instead of relying primarily on Sol.

The ChatGPT profile page showed about 490M tokens for Aug 20. My rollout logs account for 485.5M tokens for the full UTC day, so the two are very close.

The main workloads during the period where I tracked the weekly meter were:

Workload	Uncached input	Cached input	Output	Raw total	Credits	% of 10k quota	Actual weekly drop
Sol + Terra / high	1.397M	13.611M	0.105M	15.113M	242.07	2.42%	2%
Sol / high only	0.421M	8.629M	0.078M	9.127M	218.80	2.19%	2%
Sol + Luna / xhigh	6.921M	193.183M	0.517M	200.621M	407.05	4.07%	3%
Sol + Terra / high	2.821M	56.915M	0.230M	59.966M	595.21	5.95%	6%
Sol + Terra / high	8.035M	188.380M	0.714M	197.129M	1,849.20	18.49%	20%
Total	19.595M	460.719M	1.643M	481.957M	3,312.32	33.12%	33%

Across all five workloads, the calculated usage was 3,312.32 credits, while the server-side weekly meter dropped by 33 percentage points.

That implies:

3,312.32 / 0.33 ≈ 10,037 credits/week

After a little more usage later that day, the full-day total reached approximately 3,386.63 credits, while the server reported 34% weekly used:

3,386.63 / 10,000 = 33.87%

which rounds almost exactly to the displayed 34%.

So the post-reset data fits a nominal 10,000-credit weekly quota extremely well.

Before vs. after

-	Before Aug 13 reset	After reset
Estimated weekly quota	~17.9k credits	~10k credits
Relative capacity	100%	~56%
Change		~44% lower

What makes this interesting to me is that the post-reset result isn't based on raw token counts.

Sol, Terra and Luna have very different credit rates, but several independent workloads all converge on approximately the same 10k weekly quota when converted using the published rates.

So at least for my account, the data appears consistent with:

~18k credits/week before the Aug 13 reset → ~10k credits/week afterward.

I obviously can't tell from one account whether this means:

• Pro 5x limits were reduced globally,
• the pre-reset allowance included some temporary extra entitlement,
• accounts were migrated to a different quota,
• or something account-specific happened.

Has anyone else on Pro 5x been tracking rate_limits.primary.used_percent and rollout token usage?

I'd especially like to compare numbers from before and after the Aug 13 reset.

Doing similar work to what I always do, my 20x is dropping like a rock off a cliff.

This tells me OpenAI will probably give us a reset in 4 days and pretend they're doing us a favor.

I paid 100 bucks last week and now I burn through 10 percent of my weekly limit with a single prompt, it's worse than what the plus plan provided previously. Pure scam, no wonder they removed the 5 hour limit

My cat stepped on my keyboard and typed asdf;; into Codex while I was making a sandwich.

Apparently it interpreted that as "refactor entire local disk into a distributed microservice architecture with full test coverage." (it's words, not mine)

While it was doing that, the hidden auto-reviewer spawned 14 sub-agents to verify if asdf was safe to run, burned 9.4 million tokens in 3 minutes, evaporated my weekly Pro 20x quota, and turned my docx resume into a LaTeX PDF.

Now my usage is at 0%, my 5-hour window is locked until Tuesday, and my resume has already been automatically submitted to Wendy's.

Tibo please tweet a banked reset, I have a family to feed.

The worst part? The LaTeX build failed anyway because the cat forgot to escape the second semicolon.

And thank goodness they cut Luna’s price back then, thereby giving subscribers even more value for money.

Well, it lasted less than two weeks; now Luna Max, which used to use up 1 per cent of my quota for every hour of work, is now using up 8–9 per cent an hour. Same tasks, same codebase, same everything. It’s unbelievable, if they hadn’t reduced the price, how much would it have been using then, 30 per cent an hour? 😂 What on earth are you lot up to in there? A reset will never sort anything out; you need to fix this straight away and go back to how it was yesterday, don’t take the mick out of us.

P.S All of this happened after this morning’s reset (at around 5 am in the EU), immediately afterwards, so it had already been scheduled by you.

Hey all, did usage limits get reduced significantly, or is it just my workflow? I feel like I am hitting the limit way faster than before. Is anyone else noticing this?

I went to the toilet and when I came back it said `Goal hit usage limits `

is this a bug

We use Codex again

I have a Codex subscription for my business and a Claude account for my dayjob, so I use both constantly and fairly 50/50

Codex just does what I ask it to. It is a little too easy to be led and doesn't push back quite as much as I'd like. but it understands problems, investigates, makes plans, fixes them

Claude Code is getting worse. It's ai speak is reaching nonsensical levels, I find it hard to follow the sentences it comes out with. It does the "you're right to push back ----- i missed the point entirely here" thing that AI had mostly stopped doing a year ago

For quite a while, they've traded blows and who was on top alternated and was usually narrow. The gap is quite big at the moment
