Description

What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex desktop app.

What feature would you like to see?

Show a more precise usage value when hovering over the percentage in the weekly and short-window usage indicators.

The normal display can remain a rounded whole number to keep the UI compact. On hover, show the underlying percentage to two decimal places, for example 1.58% remaining rather than only 2%.

Why this helps

For users managing longer agent tasks, the difference between roughly 1%, 1.5%, and 2% remaining affects whether it is sensible to start another task or wait for a reset. The rounded display makes that decision unnecessarily uncertain.

Suggested behavior
  • Keep the existing whole-number percentage as the default display.
  • On hover, show exact remaining percentage with two decimal places.
  • Apply it to both weekly and short-window / hourly limit indicators where present.
