What issue are you seeing?
Codex shows that I still have 2% of usage remaining, but when I try to send a new prompt it says I have already reached the maximum limit.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex with usage showing 2% remaining.
- Try to send a new prompt.
- Codex blocks the request and says the maximum limit has already been reached.
What is the expected behavior?
If usage still shows 2% remaining, Codex should allow new prompts until the limit is actually reached.
