I encountered an issue where my entire Codex quota was consumed after sending just one message. The request was not unusually large or complex, yet it used up all available quota immediately

We and our team are experiencing the same issue.
We are using Codex CLI on GPT-5.4 with medium reasoning and Fast mode turned off, yet after only 2–3 very short prompts, the usage limit is reached and access is blocked for 5 hours. Weekly quota is also being consumed unusually quickly.
Please investigate and resolve this issue as soon as possible. We would also appreciate appropriate compensation for the disruption caused.
