Actionable usage limit approximations and estimates

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI v0.142.0

What feature would you like to see?

Codex CLI currently shows usage as percentage bars, e.g. “5h limit: 38% left” and “Weekly limit: 90% left,” with reset times in 24-hour format.

This is not very actionable for users trying to manage limited quota across long-running agent sessions.

Requested improvements:

1. Show per-task usage after each completed turn/task:

• 5h budget consumed
• weekly budget consumed
• input/output/reasoning tokens if available
• model used
• duration

1. Show absolute remaining budget if available from the backend:

• tokens, credits, requests, or whatever unit is actually enforced

1. Show relative reset countdowns:

• “resets in 1h 23m”
• not only “resets 15:35”

1. Add a 12-hour / 24-hour time display preference.

1. Make the status output more useful for deciding whether to continue with a frontier model, switch to a cheaper model, compact context, or pause until reset.

Current display example:

5h limit: [████████░░░░░░░░░░░░] 38% left (resets 15:35)
Weekly limit: [██████████████████░░] 90% left (resets 10:35 on 16 Jul)

This tells me the rough percentage, but not how much the previous task consumed, how expensive the selected model was in practice, or how long until the limit actually resets in human-friendly terms.
