What issue are you seeing?
I use Codex through the ChatGPT desktop app with an SSH server.
My ChatGPT Codex usage dashboard shows available credits, and /status showed 58% remaining in the 7-day limit. However, remote prompts consistently fail with:
“Quota exceeded. Check your plan and billing details.”
I verified that this also occurs directly on the server, not only in the desktop app.
Steps already completed:
- Configured passwordless SSH successfully.
- Updated remote Codex CLI from 0.144.3 to 0.146.0.
- Ran
codex logoutandcodex login --device-auth. codex login statusreports “Logged in using ChatGPT”.- Tried changing the model.
- Retried both desktop remote chat and direct server CLI.
Direct CLI reproduction:
- SSH to server.
- Run
codex. - Send: “Reply with exactly: OK”.
- Codex immediately returns the quota-exceeded error.
