What feature would you like to see?
I would like Codex to allow users to use their remaining weekly usage before it resets, even when the 5-hour usage limit is also active.
Example:
- 5-hour usage limit: 46% remaining, resets at 2:00 PM
- Weekly usage limit: 50% remaining, resets at 11:00 AM
In this case, the weekly limit resets earlier. Since the remaining weekly usage does not carry forward, the unused weekly balance is lost.
Expected improvement:
- If weekly usage is still available and close to reset, allow the user to consume that weekly usage.
- Do not block usage only because of the 5-hour limit when weekly usage is about to expire.
- Or clearly explain in the UI which limit is blocking the user.
This would make the usage limit system easier to understand and feel fairer for users.
Additional information
This is a usability and subscription-limit improvement request, not a bug.
The main issue is that remaining weekly usage can expire even though the user still wants to use it before the weekly reset time.
