While using it, I did not have any conversations running, but my quota was dropping rapidly, to the point that it is now almost zero and I can no longer work. My subscription is pro*5, which should be enough for my usage, but I do not know why it is decreasing.

My credits are also being raped for the lack of a better word - Two prompts this morning and I had to reset my usage. I did because I need to keep working, and then after resetting for the 2nd time in less than an hour, I put in one prompt and usage is gone again - tried openai support which is useless
Something is off. Since last week i had to reset usage 2x but never even hit 5h usage until today where i only moderately worked. The tasks didn't even take codex a long time. I never had that before
This is on a Pro 20x account

Let us know if anyone in this thread manages to get answers from OpenAI please
I think this might actually be a bug, because the context seems to get completely wiped out after just two messages. However, when I use the 5.4 Mini model, it lasts significantly longer—which makes me wonder if the behavior is intentionally engineered rather than a glitch.
To investigate further, I complained about this issue about a week ago and was given extra tokens, but those were also depleted quickly. I also tested it on a brand-new account and exhausted its entire credit limit, which was only 3 million tokens. In contrast, my older account has a total limit of 7.2 billion tokens. Given such a massive discrepancy between accounts, I strongly suspect this is a bug.
官方也不出来解释一下，我觉得这个问题应该不是我的个例，应该有很多的人都遇到这个问题
This is just ridiculous now. 5.5xhigh on fast, on a Business Plan (equivalent to Plus).
After just one single prompt which was a simple bugfix, not even a new feature or anything the 5h quota got drained completely and weekly drained 18%. This for such a simple thing and was just a work of just ~4min.

Addendum:
I reverted the commit and gave the same exact prompt and codebase to Claude Opus 4.8 and used only 4%. Something definitely very wrong on your side. Usually it's Claude draining limits like crazy. This was on Claude Teams which should be equivalent to the Business plan.
