Rate-limit banner typo + opaque limits
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Aug 8, 2025 by zemaj Closed Oct 17, 2025
What version of Codex is running?
codex-cli 0.19.0
Which model were you using?
gpt-5
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.5.0 arm64 arm
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open codex CLI using an OpenAI Plus/Pro account.
- Run normal workflows for ~1–2 hours (light coding/planning is enough) until rate limits are hit.
- Observe the banner that appears when the cap is reached.
What is the expected behavior?
- Correct grammar in the banner.
- Transparent limits displayed at the moment of failure and queryable at any time:
Remaining vs. total requests/runs, tokens (if applicable), and per-model breakdown.
Time-to-reset for the rolling 5-hour window and the weekly window (absolute timestamps).
- Early warnings at ~80% and ~95% of the cap with actionable guidance (e.g., suggest lowering reasoning effort or switching models).
- A command (e.g.,
codex usage) that shows the same counters on demand.
What do you see instead?
- Banner text shows a typo/grammar error:
🖐 You've hit usage your usage limit. Limits reset every 5h and every week.
- No counters, no per-model breakdown, and no time-to-reset.
- No early warning before the hard stop.
- No obvious command to check current usage status.
Additional information
Users cannot plan work, adapt settings, or switch models before hitting a hard stop.
