Show global usage and reset time for 5h/weekly guardrails in Codex CLI
Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Aug 8, 2025 by agenticbuddy Closed Oct 19, 2025
Feature request:
When usage limits are enforced (e.g., 5-hour or weekly guardrails), it would be extremely helpful if Codex CLI could display:
- Global usage within the current window (not just the current session):
- Total tokens / requests used in the active 5h or weekly window.
- How much of the allowance remains.
- Reset information:
- Exact time when the current window will reset (e.g., "Resets in 2h 15m").
- If multiple windows apply (e.g., 5h and weekly), show both.
- Effective plan and limiter context:
- The plan currently applied on the backend (e.g., Pro or Plus), even if different from the local token’s plan.
- The type of guardrail or limiter that triggered (rate limit, reasoning window, etc.).
This would make it clear to the user:
- Whether the limit is session-based or global.
- How close they are to hitting the limit.
- How long they need to wait before being unblocked.
It would also help identify plan upgrade propagation issues, such as continuing to enforce Plus-level guardrails after upgrading to Pro.
