What issue are you seeing?
I ran codex-security, my limits were hit and it stopped. When my limits were restored, it kept running somewhere and once again drained my 5x quota a few hours later. I tried to stop it, but could not find a process id to kill as I already canceled the codex interface. This drained my quota without codex actively running.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I used codex-security deep scan, hit a limit, limit reset, and quota drain continued.
What is the expected behavior?
Codex-security is stoppable.
Additional information
I don't even have any reports or results, just effectively 2 weeks of quota drained.
