What feature would you like to see?

I would like Codex to allow users to use their remaining weekly usage before it resets, even when the 5-hour usage limit is also active.

Example:

  • 5-hour usage limit: 46% remaining, resets at 2:00 PM
  • Weekly usage limit: 50% remaining, resets at 11:00 AM

In this case, the weekly limit resets earlier. Since the remaining weekly usage does not carry forward, the unused weekly balance is lost.

Expected improvement:

  • If weekly usage is still available and close to reset, allow the user to consume that weekly usage.
  • Do not block usage only because of the 5-hour limit when weekly usage is about to expire.
  • Or clearly explain in the UI which limit is blocking the user.

This would make the usage limit system easier to understand and feel fairer for users.

Additional information

This is a usability and subscription-limit improvement request, not a bug.

The main issue is that remaining weekly usage can expire even though the user still wants to use it before the weekly reset time.
