Y no baja, solo sube, lamentable esto
Hi @andresprietouy and maintainers,
Looking at the behavior described ("Y no baja, solo sube" / the wait time is increasing instead of decreasing), this strongly indicates a timestamp math inversion bug either in the VS Code extension's frontend UI or the API response parsing.
Root Cause Hypothesis:
The code calculating the remaining wait time is likely adding the current time delta instead of subtracting it, or evaluating Wait Time = Current Time - RateLimitStartTime instead of the expected Wait Time = RateLimitExpiryTime - Current Time. As the user's local clock advances, the calculated penalty window grows continuously.
Potential Fix Outline:
Check the specific error handler for user_weekly_rate_limited in the IDE extension payload.
Ensure the parsing logic correctly handles the timestamp provided by the server.
Verify if there is a discrepancy between the server's epoch time and the client's local time (Windows NT) causing a negative delta that wraps around or is inverted by an absolute value function Math.abs().
I would love to help fix this! If this hypothesis aligns with the team's intended architectural approach, let me know and I can open a PR with the correction and the required test coverage for this specific UI/parsing state.
Thank you for your answer, anyway thats not what is really affecting me now, it is the fact that they rate limited my account for 19 days! Thats insane, i have to finish a product for this week
Hi @andresprietouy, I completely understand your frustration. To clarify, I am an external community contributor. Because of that, I only have visibility into the open-source client code (which is why I addressed the UI timer bug).
The 19-day account block is being enforced by OpenAI's internal backend servers, which community developers like myself cannot access or modify. Only an official OpenAI maintainer or support team member can look into your account and lift that restriction. I hope the core team sees this soon and resolves your block so you can finish your product!
Oh, there is a missunderstanding, this is happening to me in github copilot not codex, its with my pro+ subscription to github copilot
did you fix it? on my end i can't work... updating vsc let me use it for 3 messages i was rate limited again
