What issue are you seeing?
I am using ChatGPT Plus, but Codex only shows the Weekly limit.
In the Codex App:
- Weekly limit is shown
- 5-hour limit is not shown
In CLI /status:
- Plan: ChatGPT Plus
- Model:
gpt-5.6-sol - Reasoning effort:
high - Weekly limit is shown
- There is no 5-hour limit line
Example:
Weekly limit: 69% left
To check whether this was only a UI issue, I also started:
codex app-server --stdio
After initialization, I sent:
{"method":"account/rateLimits/read","id":7}
The relevant part of the response was:
{
"rateLimits": {
"limitId": "codex",
"primary": {
"usedPercent": 31,
"windowDurationMins": 10080,
"resetsAt": "<redacted>"
},
"secondary": null,
"planType": "plus"
},
"rateLimitsByLimitId": {
"codex": {
"primary": {
"usedPercent": 31,
"windowDurationMins": 10080,
"resetsAt": "<redacted>"
},
"secondary": null,
"planType": "plus"
}
}
}
What I observed:
10080minutes is 7 daysusedPercent: 31matches/statusshowing69% leftsecondaryisnull- there is no
windowDurationMins: 300in the response
So, at least in the quota snapshot returned by account/rateLimits/read, there is no 5-hour (300-minute) bucket.
While using gpt-5.6-sol, I also saw the Weekly limit decrease:
76% left → 72% left → 69% left
So Weekly usage is being counted.
I am not claiming that the 5-hour limit does not exist anywhere in the backend, or that it is not being counted. It may be handled by another system.
The issue is that the Codex App, /status, and account/rateLimits/read all show only the Weekly limit.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Sign in to Codex CLI 0.151.0 with a ChatGPT Plus account using ChatGPT authentication.
- Use
gpt-5.6-solwith reasoning efforthigh. - Check Usage in the Codex App.
- Run
/statusin Codex CLI. - Start:
codex app-server --stdio
- Initialize the session.
- Send:
{"method":"account/rateLimits/read","id":7}
- Check the response.
In my case, only the 10080-minute Weekly bucket is returned. There is no 300-minute bucket, and secondary is null.
What is the expected behavior?
If the 5-hour limit applies to this ChatGPT Plus account, I expect its current usage or remaining quota to be visible in the Codex App or CLI /status.
I am not assuming that account/rateLimits/read must always return a 300-minute bucket.
However, currently the App, /status, and the rate-limit response all show only the Weekly limit, so I cannot see the state of the 5-hour limit.
Additional information
A similar issue is #32840.
However, that issue was reported on 2026-07-13 with Codex CLI 0.144.3.
This issue is reproduced after the 5-hour limit was reintroduced for ChatGPT Plus, using Codex CLI 0.151.0.
I also confirmed that account/rateLimits/read returns only the 10080-minute bucket, with secondary: null and no 300-minute bucket.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the usage-limit display in Codex CLI 0.151.0 with a ChatGPT Plus account using the reported model and platform. Trace where the weekly and five-hour limits are presented; done means both reintroduced limits are visible when applicable.
