Olá, o meu limite tem diminuído sozinho. Mesmo quando eu não uso, se eu volto depois de 5 minutos, o meu limite diminuiu, ao fato de eu ter já 40% somente de uso para o semanal. Esse é um problema que tem acontecido nos últimos 5 dias; por favor, vejam isso, senão eu vou ter que ir para o Claude.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Hello, my limit has been decreasing on its own. Even when I do not use it, if I come back after 5 minutes, my limit has decreased, to the point that I now have only 40% of my weekly usage remaining. This is a problem that has been happening for the last 5 days; please look into it, otherwise I will have to switch to Claude.

I reviewed issue #28085.

While there are similarities regarding unexpected quota consumption, my issue appears to be different.

In my case:

  • The quota depletion was observed in real time.
  • A single Codex session remained open.
  • Session ID remained unchanged.
  • Context size remained unchanged.
  • No prompts were submitted.
  • No visible tasks were running.
  • CPU monitoring was performed on the ChatGPT macOS application.
  • Quota continued decreasing during the observation period.
  • The 5-hour quota was eventually exhausted, resulting in loss of access to Codex.

The issue is not only unexplained historical usage in analytics, but active quota depletion during an apparently idle session.

Therefore I believe this issue should remain open unless the engineering team confirms it is the same underlying root cause.
