Proof that there's a bug depleting all my limits!
Environment:
- Windows 10
- Dell i7, 16GB RAM
- Codex Desktop App version 26.406.20454
- Model used: GPT-5.4 on High
- On Plus plan from 14 April 2026
What happened:
- First week was normal: Used the service intensively: No limits reached.
- Second week: All limits depleted within 2 days, while I barely used the service.
- This morning I started on a CLEAN 5-hour limit (before the end of the second weekly day). I only asked 4 EASY questions:
(Side note: The 4 questions are Mac related, although Codex is running on Windows).
Detail of the 4 questions asked:
- command not found: scons
- Worked for 14s
- scons: *** Invalid value for enum variable 'target': 'debug'. Valid values are: ['editor', 'template_release', 'template_debug']
File "/Users/Hennas/Desktop/godot-ios-plugins/godot/SConstruct", line 362, in <module>
- Worked for 8s
- scons: Reading SConscript files ...

- Worked for 3s
- When running this, it's asking for a password!:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
xcode-select -p
xcrun --sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-path
- It didn't give the seconds, but it can't be more than a few seconds, because it responded quickly with this: That’s normal. sudo needs your Mac login password because it changes the system-wide Xcode command-line tools path.
When I asked another question, I got this response:
Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model.
- Changing the model does not change my limits.
- My 5h limit is at 99% after only these 4 questions!
- And my Weekly limit is at 96% after doing a small amount of work the last day and a half.
Since this is clearly a BUG, please reset my limits ASAP!
