What issue are you seeing?
Since upgrading to Codex v0.130.0, we have observed a significant increase in quota/usage consumption compared to previous versions under nearly identical workflows.
Issue
Before upgrading, our normal usage pattern (same working hours, similar prompt sizes, similar review/refactor workloads) resulted in approximately 50% of our weekly quota remaining after a full week of usage.
After upgrading to v0.130.0, we now hit:
the 5-hour limit substantially faster
and the weekly limit within approximately 2–3 days
This behavior started immediately after the upgrade and appears reproducible across multiple sessions.
Expected Behavior
Usage/quota consumption should remain relatively consistent between versions when workload characteristics remain similar.
Actual Behavior
Quota usage appears to have increased drastically in v0.130.0 despite:
similar prompt complexity
similar repository sizes
similar coding/review workflows
similar daily active usage time
Additional Context
Environment/workflow:
Heavy repository review usage
Large PHP/Laravel + FiveM related codebases
Frequent /review and refactor style prompts
Same operational pattern as before the upgrade
Observed impact:
Previously: ~50% quota remaining after 1 week
Now: limits exhausted within 2–3 days
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Upgrade Codex CLI/client from a pre-v0.130.0 version to v0.130.0.
- Use the same repositories and workflows as before the upgrade:
- Similar prompt sizes
- Similar /review requests
- Similar refactor/debug sessions
- Similar daily usage duration
- Continue normal usage for several days.
- Compare quota consumption between versions.
Result
With v0.130.0, the 5-hour and weekly limits are reached significantly faster (weekly limit reached in ~2–3 days instead of ~1 week with ~50% remaining).
Expected Result
Quota usage should remain approximately consistent when workload and usage patterns are unchanged between versions.
What is the expected behavior?
Expected behavior is that quota/token consumption remains relatively consistent between Codex versions when usage patterns, repositories, prompt sizes, and workflows remain the same.
Under the same workload, we would expect:
Similar 5-hour quota consumption as previous versions
Weekly limits to last approximately the same duration as before the upgrade
No major increase in token/context usage without a corresponding increase in workload
Upgrading to v0.130.0 should not drastically reduce available usage capacity for identical day-to-day operations.
