The UI that shows usage / limits is inconsistently not working from time to time
What version of the IDE extension are you using?
26.429.30905
What subscription do you have?
plus
Which IDE are you using?
VS Code
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
The only fast way to see current usage / remaining limits and their reset time is to click the button named "Work locally". That is an issue by itself, but this issue is about the fact that the menu inside that menu is not always shown; sometimes it is just shown as empty, with a "forbidden" mouse pointer.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Use the VS Code Codex extension with a ChatGPT account (not API).
- From time to time, check your remaining limits by clicking the "Work locally" menu, then the "Rate limits remaining" menu.
- Observe that sometimes they may be shown properly, and then suddenly that UI element just disappears completely. At the same time, in another VS Code window, they may be shown normally.
What is the expected behavior?
A normal working UI without bugs that prevent trivial things like checking remaining limits.
Additional information
In a normal situation, the menu looks like this:

I am seeing the same issue.
In my case, the usage indicator for the 1h/5h windows already exists, but it appears inconsistently in the VS Code extension Work locally experience. Sometimes it is visible, and sometimes it is missing.
Environment:
I have not identified a reliable trigger yet. The issue has been happening intermittently for about three weeks.
