What issue are you seeing?

I noticed that my 5-hour usage quota and weekly quota are being consumed at almost the same rate, which seems incorrect.

Based on my understanding, these two limits should operate independently:

• The 5-hour quota should reset on a rolling window
• The weekly quota should accumulate over a longer period

However, in my case:

• When I use Codex for a short period, both the 5-hour quota and the weekly quota decrease almost proportionally
• The consumption speed of both limits appears nearly identical

This makes it feel like they are either:

1. Sharing the same underlying counter, or
2. Being deducted incorrectly in parallel

This behavior is unexpected and may indicate a quota tracking or accounting issue.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Start a new Codex session
2. Perform several tasks (e.g., code generation / edits / analysis)
3. Observe quota usage in the dashboard (5h and weekly limits)

Observed behavior:

• Both 5h and weekly quotas decrease at nearly the same rate

Expected behavior:

• 5h quota should decrease based on short-term usage
• Weekly quota should decrease independently and at a different pace

Additional notes:

• This behavior is consistent across multiple sessions
• No unusually large prompts or context usage involved

What is the expected behavior?
