I’m a ChatGPT Pro user, and today I noticed that my Codex usage limit was reached much faster than expected.

I reached the rate limit very frequently with only 3M tokens consumed today. It's not like a Pro plan, like a free plan.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
my session id: 019f3c43-c99d-7211-a6f9-d02a7897a19c
With only one session, I reached rate limit. That's weird.
What is the expected behavior?

I updated to the latest ChatGPT desktop App. The quote is reset but still consumed very fast. The bug is still there. It still doesn't detect my Pro account.
