Environment
- Interface: Codex Web UI and OpenCode
- Auth: ChatGPT Plus account
- Model: GPT-5.4
- Codex CLI version:
0.120.0 - Account: same account/email used for payment
- Payment source: official OpenAI billing (
pay.openai.com)
---
Payment history
I have confirmed successful payments in this same account:
- Invoice
W4NJAXQX-0002— March 31, 2026 — $40 for 1,000 credits - Invoice
W4NJAXQX-0003— April 18, 2026 — $40 for 1,000 credits
After the April 18 payment, I observed my total credits increase to approximately 2300+ credits.

Actual behavior
- Credit balance now shows
0 - Usage history only shows activity up to April 8, 2026
- No usage entries appear after April 8
- There is no visible record explaining how the credits were consumed
- The issue is visible both in the Codex web UI and in OpenCode
- The usage history appears frozen or desynchronized
---
Expected behavior
- Credits purchased on March 31 and April 18 should remain unless consumed
- If credits were consumed, usage history should show deductions after April 18
- Credit balance and usage history should match
- The dashboard should clearly show where credits were used
- The system should not show 0 credits without corresponding usage logs
---
Why this seems like a bug
- Credits were successfully purchased and temporarily visible
- They later dropped to 0
- There are no usage records after April 8 explaining the deduction
The absence of any usage records after the credits were added makes it impossible that the credits were consumed normally.
This suggests one of the following:
- Backend credit ledger / synchronization issue
- Missing or incomplete usage records
- Incorrect credit accounting
- Mismatch between billing system and Codex usage system
This behavior is observed across both Codex Web UI and OpenCode, suggesting it is not limited to a single interface.
---
Impact
- Impossible to verify whether credits were used or lost
- Loss of visibility into billing and usage
- Reduced trust in credit accounting
- Potential financial discrepancy (paid credits no longer visible)
---
Additional Evidence (Codex CLI /status)
Running /status shows:
- Correct account (Plus subscription)
- Usage limits present but flagged as "may be stale"
- No credit balance information available
Example:
- 5h limit: 35% left
- Weekly limit: 2% left
- Warning: "limits may be stale"
This suggests system state (limits + credits) may be out of sync across services.

Screenshot 2: April 18 payment receipt (1,000 credits)
Screenshot 3: March 31 payment receipt (1,000 credits)
Screenshot 4: /status output showing stale limits

Request
Please help determine whether this is:
- a Codex backend credit accounting issue
- a usage history tracking/display bug
- a billing ledger synchronization issue
I can provide additional logs or details if needed.

Additional clarification:
The key issue is not just inconsistent display.
Credits were visibly added (balance increased to ~2300), then later dropped to 0, with no usage records after April 8 explaining the deduction.
This suggests a potential credit ledger or accounting issue rather than a UI or CLI-only inconsistency.
