Five-hour Codex usage limit disappeared from Plus account; only weekly limit is shown #32791

Description

@K6ldd

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Latest codex desktop app

What subscription do you have?

plus

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.0.0 x86_64 i386

What issue are you seeing?

My ChatGPT Plus account previously displayed both a five-hour Codex usage limit and a weekly usage limit.

The five-hour limit has now completely disappeared from the Codex app. The account currently displays only a weekly allowance, for example:

Weekly usage remaining: 79% — resets July 20

There is no five-hour usage meter shown anywhere, and Codex tasks appear to consume the weekly allowance directly.

This follows an earlier usage issue on the same account. Before that incident, the interface showed approximately:

  • 75% of the five-hour allowance remaining
  • 90% of the weekly allowance remaining

During a single long-running Codex task, both limits suddenly dropped to zero. The task stopped, the limits later briefly returned, and then disappeared again.

The current persistent issue is that the five-hour limit is no longer displayed at all.

I am using an active ChatGPT Plus subscription. I was not using Fast mode, image generation, multiple concurrent Codex sessions, or other parallel agent activity when the earlier depletion occurred.

This may be one of the following:

  • An account-entitlement or provisioning issue
  • A usage-meter display bug
  • An incorrect limit configuration
  • A usage-ledger synchronization issue
  • The account being assigned a weekly-only limit despite having Plus

Expected behavior:

The Codex app should display and enforce the correct usage limits associated with my ChatGPT Plus subscription. If a five-hour allowance applies, it should remain visible and its remaining usage should be accurately reported.

Actual behavior:

Only the weekly limit is visible. The five-hour meter that was previously present has disappeared completely.

I have screenshots showing the weekly-only usage display and can attach them to this issue.

Please investigate whether the correct Codex Plus entitlements and usage-limit configuration are attached to my account.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

The Codex app should display and enforce the correct usage limits for an active ChatGPT Plus subscription.

If my account is entitled to both a five-hour limit and a weekly limit, both should remain visible in the usage interface and update accurately after each task.

The five-hour meter should not disappear without explanation, and the app should not suddenly switch to showing only a weekly allowance.

Usage should also remain consistent across app restarts and sign-ins, without limits unexpectedly dropping to zero, briefly returning, and then disappearing again.

Additional information

This is not simply a complaint that one task consumed more usage than expected.

The main issue is that my account previously displayed both a five-hour limit and a weekly limit, but the five-hour limit has now completely disappeared.

Before the earlier incident, I had approximately:

  • 75% of the five-hour limit remaining
  • 90% of the weekly limit remaining

During one Codex task, both limits suddenly dropped to zero. They later briefly returned, then disappeared again.

The current persistent state is that only the weekly limit is shown, and Codex usage appears to be deducted directly from that weekly allowance.

I am using an active ChatGPT Plus subscription. I was not using Fast mode, image generation, or multiple parallel Codex sessions.

I have screenshots showing the weekly-only meter and the missing five-hour limit.
