Inconsistent quota display and premature usage-limit error in Codex CLI 0.120.0
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 12, 2026 by khanhtd36arb Closed Apr 12, 2026
Summary
Codex CLI 0.120.0 shows inconsistent quota information and then reports usage_limit_exceeded.
What I observed
- The TUI status line shows
5h 1% • weekly 69%. /statusshows99% left (5h)and84% left (weekly).- The red banner says
Error running remote compact task: You've hit your usage limit. To get more access now, send a request to your admin or try again at Apr 13th, 2026 12:46 AM.
Local trace
I traced the local session history for 019d7b9b-7c4c-72f2-a821-9a3c003fb61c in C:\Users\khanhtd\.codex\sessions\2026\04\11\rollout-2026-04-11T15-14-40-019d7b9b-7c4c-72f2-a821-9a3c003fb61c.jsonl.

Why I think this is a bug
The status UI and the error state do not agree. The limit warning, /status, and the error banner present different remaining quota values, which makes it hard to understand whether the account is actually out of quota or the client is reading stale/inconsistent state.
