}What issue are you seeing?
I am using Codex CLI 0.144.3 on Windows with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
The official Codex pricing documentation currently states that local messages share a five-hour usage window and that additional weekly limits may also apply.
However, /status on my account displays only:
Weekly limit: 59% left
Resets at 21:58 on 19 Jul
The five-hour usage meter and its reset timer are completely missing. The same five-hour meter is also absent from Settings > Usage & billing.
Please investigate whether this is:
- A Codex CLI or Usage & billing display bug
- A backend quota/accounting problem
- An account entitlement problem
- An intentional change that has not been documented
Please also verify whether my weekly included usage is being calculated correctly. My weekly allowance is being consumed while no five-hour window is displayed.
Reproduction steps:
- Sign in to Codex CLI with a ChatGPT Plus account.
- Start Codex CLI 0.144.3 on Windows.
- Run
/status. - Observe that only the weekly limit is displayed.
- Open Settings > Usage & billing.
- Observe that the five-hour usage window and reset timer are also missing.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019f5c86-effa-74b2-8ad5-0d02998668ce
What is the expected behavior?
For a ChatGPT Plus account, /status and the Usage & billing page should display the five-hour usage window and its reset time alongside any applicable weekly limit.
If the five-hour window has intentionally been removed or replaced, the product and documentation should clearly explain the new limit system.
