v0.8.1

Bex now asks OpenAI Codex for its faster service tier, so checks come back sooner. One toggle, one behaviour change worth knowing about.

What changed

Codex checks are faster. A new Fast responses toggle sits beside the model and effort pickers in Settings → Model & Effort, visible when OpenAI Codex is your provider. It asks OpenAI for the priority service tier, which serves the same model at the same reasoning effort — just sooner.

Measured across 163 corrections taken from real usage, run twice:

	before	after
typical check	9.9s	8.3s
slowest 10%	16.7s	13.5s

What Bex actually corrects is unchanged — correction completeness, which mistakes it explains, and the alternatives it offers all measured the same within noise. That is the expected result rather than a disappointing one: the tier changes how quickly the model is served, not how it thinks.

Please check this

Fast responses is ON after you update, without being asked. Answering while you are still typing is the point of Quick Check, so it is the default — but OpenAI bills the priority tier as increased usage against your ChatGPT account, and Bex may run dozens of checks a day through Prompt Gate.

If your ChatGPT quota is tight, turn it off in Settings → Model & Effort → Fast responses. Turning it off restores exactly the previous behaviour: Bex then sends no tier at all and your account stays on whatever tier it already had.

This only affects the OpenAI Codex provider. API-key providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) and local Ollama are untouched.

Everything else

No other required action. No new permissions, no integration re-approval, no migration. Your Study cards, review progress, and correction history are untouched.
