Contributor guide
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 issue with Codex CLI 0.151.0, the Pro Lite subscription, and the reported gpt-5.3-codex-spark model; the report says all models appear limit-exhausted despite remaining limits. Done means valid usage limits no longer cause every model to be reported as exhausted.
