Description

app bug rate-limits
What issue are you seeing?

I have a codex subscription and it used to be reliable but for the past 2 weeks I have been unable to use it.

The weekly limit gets used up in a matter of hours when I have it, and over the past 2 weeks the limit reset has jumped every other day basically from:

19th July > 23rd > 25th > 28th > 1st Aug > 5th Aug rendering the service completely unusable, unpredictable and erratic leading me to cancel my subscription and pay for other services. I have been a paying customer since 2023 and have never seen the service be so unreliable before.

To use the app as I usually do

What is the expected behavior?

To not use a weekly limit in a few hours, and to not have my weekly limit reset jump every few days being erratic and unreliable

Additional information

Such a shame as I used to really rely on your service but now cant.
