What issue are you seeing?

Hello, I have an active ChatGPT Plus plan, but in Codex CLI my account is being treated like a Free plan. Because of that, my usage limits run out very quickly, which does not match the plan I’m paying for. Please check my account status and fix this issue as soon as possible. I should have the correct access and limits associated with my Plus subscription. This looks like a billing or account-sync bug. Please investigate and resolve it.

If you just updated to Plus, it may take a few minutes (up to half an hour) for the Codex client to notice the update. You can typically accelerate that by logging out and logging back in.

If that doesn't explain what you're seeing, the other common cause of this problem is that you used a different login (email address) when creating your Plus subscription, so you have two separate accounts - a Free and a Plus.

This worked, as even after a day it was not reflecting on /status on CodexCLI, logging out and logging in again helped.

It also showed free after a day, but logout + login worked, thanks.
