Codex usage limits looked confusing on first launch
Codex showed 6% used for the and 8% used for the right after first launch. At first, the limit seemed almost gone, but the corrected numbers show low usage rather than near exhaustion. No coding task had been started, and there was no known earlier Codex session on that machine.
The open question is whether this was a UI bug, a problem, or Codex counting some activity that is not obvious. Comparing the “Usage remaining” panel across other accounts could help separate a real limit issue from a display issue.
Key points
- Codex showed 6% used for the and 8% used for the on first launch.
- No coding task had been run yet on that machine.
- The likely explanations are a UI bug, a issue, or hidden account-level counting.
- The first thing to check is whether the panel is showing used usage or remaining usage.
