Codex 5hr limit exhausted too quickly across runs

What issue are you seeing?
Codex's 5 hour usage limit becomes exhausted after less than an hour of implementation + testing. I started hitting the limit halfway into a remediation plan of my current project, most of which is a minor to moderate code patch then testing where the most of the session's time is spent, so it doesnt even use up tokens.
