What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.442.30944

What subscription do you have?

pro 5x

What platform is your computer?

windows

What issue are you seeing?

an unexpected bug just happened... I have a 5x pro plan and yesterday I paid $10 to use the 5.5 API in the Codex CLI. I used it once and it consumed $4, then I went back to using the Codex app normally for 12 hours, and a little while ago my Codex stopped responding, saying I exceeded the quota limit. It automatically switched the usage to the API, and now even with the limit I can't use it... Can you help me? Here's the link to the ticket I opened. 019dbbb1-d9e5-7c12-b713-5d2f99a578c8

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I am unable,

What is the expected behavior?

It was expected that at least the Codex app would ask me if I wanted to switch to the API key and not use my credits for me.
