Do you have the experimental multi-agents feature ("collab") enabled? If you have many parallel subagents running concurrently, they can trigger this error.

If you don't have that feature enabled, do you have any other non-default settings enabled in your config.toml file?

getting same error. was on plus plan, exhausted daily limits in 3h working session in my usual pace (that's odd). upgraded to pro plan, started getting 429 in codex desktop, cli and other agents that use subscription auth method. chat id: 019dafa5-af82-72f0-aa2b-ccc8c62bcd7f
