我在 Codex app 裡遇到疑似異常扣除用量的問題。

狀況：

  • 我沒有主動送出新訊息或要求 Codex 繼續工作，但剩餘用量仍持續下降。
  • 我已檢查目前工作區，沒有正在跑的 dev server、Node、Python、npm、pnpm、yarn、bun 等背景程序。
  • Codex automations 目錄不存在：C:\Users\User\.codex\automations
  • 最近 threads 中只有目前查詢用量問題的 thread 顯示 active，其他都是 idle 或 notLoaded。
  • 目前 thread 沒有掛著 terminal session，也沒有正在追的 goal。
  • 因為我請 Codex 協助檢查，所以檢查過程本身可能有少量正常用量，但問題是在沒有操作時仍看起來持續扣除。

請協助確認：

  1. 是否有背景任務、其他 thread、或雲端任務仍在消耗我的 Codex/ChatGPT usage？
  2. 是否是剩餘用量顯示延遲或同步錯誤？
  3. 如果是異常扣除，能否協助查明並修正？

時間與環境：

  • 日期：2026-06-26
  • 系統：Windows
  • Codex app
  • 工作區：C:\Users\User\Documents\codex專用資料夾\02-auto-document-converter

English translation:

I encountered a suspected issue in the Codex app where usage is being deducted abnormally.

Situation:

  • I did not actively send a new message or ask Codex to continue working, but my remaining usage continues to decrease.
  • I have checked the current workspace, and there are no background processes running such as a dev server, Node, Python, npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun.
  • The Codex automations directory does not exist: C:\Users\User\.codex\automations
  • In recent threads, only the current thread about querying the usage issue is shown as active; the others are all idle or notLoaded.
  • The current thread does not have a terminal session attached, and there is no goal being tracked.
  • Because I asked Codex to help check this, the checking process itself may have used a small amount of normal usage, but the issue is that usage still appears to continue being deducted when I am not doing anything.

Please help confirm:

  1. Are there any background tasks, other threads, or cloud tasks still consuming my Codex/ChatGPT usage?
  2. Is this a delay in displaying remaining usage or a synchronization error?
  3. If this is abnormal deduction, can you help investigate and fix it?

Time and environment:

  • Date: 2026-06-26
  • System: Windows
  • Codex app
  • Workspace: C:\Users\User\Documents\codex專用資料夾\02-auto-document-converter
