Please have the official developers test each release firsthand before releasing it. Every time we download it, there are many surprises— which is truly frustrating. Thank u!

No need to upload logs or provide /feedback. This is not a client-side issue.

The team is actively investigating and working on a fix. Official status page has been updated to reflect active incident.

coalio · 1 month ago

we should be doing blue/green testing & deployments, what happened openai?

Xavier-Zen · 1 month ago

can't you just rollback?

Still getting same error and all remote machines are showing offline in the ChatGPT app: 019e8bda-089e-7533-82a9-b92256d9d071

Same issue here happened about an hour ago. /feedback submitted, thread ID 019e809b-f4b4-7592-8437-b6c1d2297c97. GPT-5.5 usage analytics also dissapeared on https://chatgpt.com/codex/settings/usage page.

Title: Codex returns 429 Too Many Requests for every prompt despite 100% usage remaining

Summary

My Codex suddenly started failing with 429 Too Many Requests for every request, even for a minimal prompt. This happened after Codex had been working normally about one hour earlier.

The error message is:

exceeded retry limit, last status: 429 Too Many Requests, request id: d139ff74-f2cf-4e65-ba1b-9dd8c3b6be90

Account / Plan

  • Account: ChatGPT account login, not API key mode
  • Plan: ChatGPT Pro 5x
  • Subscription page shows the plan is active and will renew normally
  • Codex web usage page shows 100% remaining usage
  • Extra credits balance shows 0, but the included usage still shows 100% remaining

Environment

  • Codex client: Codex desktop app
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Codex app version: [uptodate]

What happened

About one hour before the issue occurred, Codex was working normally. After I came back later, every request started failing with 429.

This happens regardless of the prompt. Even a minimal prompt such as:

Just reply "ok". Do not read files or run commands.

still returns the same 429 error.

What I already tried

  • Logged out and logged back into Codex
  • Checked my ChatGPT subscription status
  • Checked Codex web usage / analytics page
  • Tried very small prompts with no file access or command execution

The issue persists.

Expected behavior

Codex should accept requests because my Codex usage page shows 100% remaining usage.

Actual behavior

Every request fails with:

exceeded retry limit, last status: 429 Too Many Requests

Request ID

d139ff74-f2cf-4e65-ba1b-9dd8c3b6be90

Question

Could this be related to a Codex service-side incident, rate-limit accounting bug, or entitlement/usage mapping issue for ChatGPT Pro users?

Please help check whether my account is incorrectly being rate-limited despite showing 100% remaining Codex usage.

Additional context:

I was previously on the temporary 10x Codex usage promotion for the $100 Pro plan, which ended on May 31, 2026. I understand that the standard allowance is now 5x.

However, my Codex web usage page still shows 100% remaining included usage, while every request returns 429. This makes me suspect this may be related to a post-promotion entitlement or rate-limit accounting issue, where the frontend usage page and backend rate limiter are out of sync.

KeiraX · 1 month ago

I'm running into the same issue. The status page/panel does not show the rate limit and only displays Rate limit: Unavailable, although the app itself still works.
