As far as I have searched, there's no way to determine when the account rate limit will reset (save for manually setting a timer yourself). It would be very helpful to show when our rate limit will get reset instead of a vague 'every 5h and ever week', like a specific time. Playing the guessing game and writing out a full prompt, only to have it nullified is not a very good experience.

Has anyone on plus hit the limit since they increased limits over the weekend?

@shanecowherd yes repeatedly. And I'm seeing many reports of Pro users already hitting the weekly limit! https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/2022#issuecomment-3177499560 I cannot upgrade to Pro if single agent use results in hitting weekly limits after only a couple days...

Affirmative, It's been like 2 hours for me to hit a 5 hour limit. Mine have yet to reset till now so I cannot say about the weekly limit.

First two days was okay coding sessions, but then I stated hitting limits after couple of messages.
Now my limits not being refreshed at all after passing >5h.

Less than 2 hours.. maybe 1-1.5 hours of solid refactor work and i'm switching back to gemini or cursor with my fingers crossed.
Still not sure if paying 200 for this vs claude is the move.

New update: https://x.com/embirico/status/1955344043740893617

Just shipped 2 fixes for folks hitting Codex CLI rate limits: - Reduced token usage by improving the cache hit rate a ton - Fixed how the CLI counts usage (update to v0.21) Thanks for the feedback as we iterate. Keep it coming, especially if you're on Pro hitting limits!

Please report it to Alexander Embiricos if you keep hitting the limits on Pro. They're evaluating how much this cache change improved that, and will follow up depending on feedback!

I'm still trying to infer how it works. When I hit a five hour limit, I think it was fewer than five hours from that point to when I could work again, so I think it's five hours from when your session starts, not ends. At least I hope so, because I started trying this out about a week ago and I'm waiting for my weekly limit to reset.

Usage limit is confusing. At least claude code shows clearly the time on next cycle. One week still seeing usage limit message 😒. Unsubscribed.

Regularly. Mid-size project, Pro plan, ratelimited ~80% of my time.
