Show Codex usage balances in mobile app for 5-hour and weekly limits
Feature request
Please add Codex usage balance visibility to the mobile Codex experience / ChatGPT mobile app.
Problem
On mobile, it is currently difficult to quickly check the remaining Codex plan usage before starting or continuing a task. Users need clear visibility into both major Codex quota windows:
- Remaining 5-hour rolling limit
- Remaining weekly limit
- Reset time for each limit
This matters because mobile is now part of the Codex workflow, especially when users start, monitor, or resume Codex tasks from an iPhone/iPad. Without usage visibility, users can accidentally start large tasks when their quota is already low, or may not understand why Codex suddenly becomes unavailable.
Expected behavior
The mobile Codex UI should expose the same kind of usage information available from the web usage page, ideally in an easy-to-find place such as:
- Codex mobile settings
- Codex task/session screen
- Account / plan usage page inside the mobile app
At minimum, please show:
- 5-hour limit remaining percentage or amount
- Weekly limit remaining percentage or amount
- Reset time / next refresh time
- A warning when one of the limits is close to being exhausted
Why this is important
Codex users, especially Plus/Pro users, need transparent plan usage information across all surfaces. If mobile can start or resume Codex work, it should also show the relevant usage balance before the user spends that quota.
This would make Codex mobile more predictable, reduce confusion around rate limits, and help users manage their plan usage more responsibly.

I’d like to add another mobile-specific use case here.
Codex mobile already lets users start, steer, approve, and continue Codex sessions from the ChatGPT mobile app. Before continuing a task from phone, it is important to know whether the account is close to the 5-hour or weekly usage limit.
On desktop/web, users can inspect usage before deciding whether to continue a larger task. On mobile, the same visibility is currently missing, so users may approve or continue work without realizing that the weekly quota is nearly exhausted.
A compact mobile usage panel would be very helpful, showing:
This would make Codex mobile safer to use for long-running work, especially when away from the desktop.
