Follow up to the usage draining bug. It got worse and this is the clearest proof its an accounting problem, not real usage.

Right now my usage shows:

  • Usage remaining: 0%
  • 5h window: 0% (resets 9:59 PM)
  • Weekly: 62% (resets Jul 8)

The thing is I have not sent a single message recently. Nothing. And the 5h window is fully drained to 0%. There is literally no activity that could explain this, so the quota is being consumed by something other than my actual requests.

Context: I'm on the paid plan (100x5). This has been going on ~2 weeks. Earlier a US IP helped for a while but that stopped working too. Looks connected to the rate limiter incident on the status page (id 01KW2E6W0503W4NXJNCVAG8V6T).

Screenshot of the usage panel attached. Happy to give more if needed. Thanks

recently I haven't sent a single message at all, and I've completely run out of tokens <img width="273" height="113" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6a9256de-53aa-463a-8873-79408f53c26f" />

Adding corroborating forensics from another Plus account — may help isolate the idle-drain path.

New report with session-log evidence: #31174

Key additional data point: local session logs last showed 79% at 2026-07-04T10:25:15Z, then zero sessions for all of Jul 5, yet OAuth backend-api/codex/usage reports 100% on both windows. Only account/rateLimits/read activity in logs (should not consume quota).

Also captured Jul 2 abnormal drain: 1 user message → window reset to 1% → 100% in ~6 minutes.
