I literally cant use my codex cli for even a few hours of solid work before being rate limited, I hit 75%, for both weekly and 5 hour, 90% weekly and 5 hours, as well as 95% 5 hour rate limit all within one prompt. ONE!
This is quite literally why myself and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, of PAYING users will be leaving.
Didnt add the in between due to privacy but here is the warnings.. plus i've sent it into the bug report the whole convo.

Hi @SlipstreamAI, can you tell us more about your situation? Which ChatGPT plan do you have? Are you using Codex for code reviews, or are you using it for code generation?
Are you seeing a behavior that you think is a bug, or are you providing feedback that you'd like codex usage to go further with your current subscription plan?
Hello, I added all information above. Business user. Code generation. It has to be a bug or your absolutely abusing your paying customers.
Thank you for the prompt response.
I dont understand why I would renew when I literally cant even generate code for even an hour.
I literally hit from 75% to 95% in a matter of 30 minutes inside of 1 prompt.
Everything you've asked for was already provided.
These arent questions, this is actual issues inside my account, as im seeing others are experiencing similar issues. There should be no way possible that my rate limits are up when my accounts plan restarts on the 6th..
Please advise.
