What issue are you seeing?
The usage status is inconsistent across two Codex windows/sessions for the same account at approximately the same time.
In the attached comparison screenshot:
- One session reports the 7-day limit as 99% left (reset Jul 17).
- Another reports the 7-day limit as 89% left (reset Jul 17).
- The 5-hour limit also differs substantially: 98% left in one session versus 55% left in the other. The displayed reset times differ by only about eight minutes (4:52 PM vs 4:44 PM).
Because these appear to be account-level usage limits, different sessions/windows should not show conflicting remaining percentages.
Steps to reproduce
- Sign in to the same account in the Codex desktop app.
- Open two different projects or sessions in separate Codex windows.
- Open the usage/status panel in both windows at approximately the same time.
- Compare the 5-hour and 7-day usage percentages.
Expected behavior
All open windows for the same account should show the same current account-level usage, aside from a small and short-lived refresh delay.
Actual behavior
Different windows show materially different remaining usage values, including 99% versus 89% for the same 7-day limit/reset date.
Additional information
A side-by-side screenshot was captured showing both status panels.
