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 logout and codex login --device-auth.
  • codex login status reports “Logged in using ChatGPT”.
  • Tried changing the model.
  • Retried both desktop remote chat and direct server CLI.

Direct CLI reproduction:

  1. SSH to server.
  2. Run codex.
  3. Send: “Reply with exactly: OK”.
  4. Codex immediately returns the quota-exceeded error.

Environment:

  • Remote host: Linux x64
  • Codex CLI: v0.146.0
  • Plan: ChatGPT Plus
  • Model: gpt-5.6-terra, high reasoning
  • Expected: remote Codex should accept prompts while the usage dashboard reports remaining credits and 58% weekly limit remaining.
  • Actual: every prompt immediately returns “Quota exceeded. Check your plan and billing details.”

Same issue here: ChatGPT Plus, Codex CLI 0.146.0, usage dashboard shows 58% weekly capacity and available credits, but every prompt returns “Quota exceeded.”

I reproduced it directly on a Linux SSH host after a fresh codex login --device-auth, not only in the desktop app:
