I have opted for buying credits to continue my working by paying for credits. The credits drained as per the decent usage. My 5 hour limite resumed. The same limit exhausted with just two messages. like two simple tasks.
I belive the chatgpt is watching how needy you are and exploiting the customers requirement with whatever the plan you have. I have pro plan and 5 hours usage limit should work as it should be.. I dont know whom to contact and what will be the outcome but this is absolutely unfair practice. Seems okay for many folks but something is not ethical and logical here... and need serious intervention.

getting the same issue +1. Have not heard from the team yet like what they are going to do
No, I have not heard anything from them. I wait for 5hrs reset timing. Not using codex that much as I know what they can do again and leave me in limbo and again 5hrs reset waiting just to take notes...
