}What issue are you seeing?
The codex api returning steadily decreasing quota on multiple accounts (2) without actually being used. I monitor that data and have graphs which display next to 0 tokens per 1% of quota during this time frame (16:15-22:45 MESZ).
I know other services like code review can use quota but no code review was running at that time.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I dont know, it just happens.
What is the expected behavior?
No decrease of quota.
