Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.901.51231

What subscription do you have?

Pro 20x

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

I just used a Reset not long this morning, and they are dropping so fast right now. I'm on 20x and i'm already down 20%. By this afternoon at this rate i'll be completely out of weekly resets again. These normally last me the week. now i can't get through the day?! That does not seem proportionate to the increased cost i was seeing advertised for Astra over Sol. I'm running Astra High right now and I normally used Sol xHigh as my daily workers. This is also not what was happening yesterday. something changed and is burning faster.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Just use Astra compared to Sol and see the difference of actual consumption and see if it's proportional to the increase in burn.

What is the expected behavior?

It should not cost an entire weeks worth of tokens in a day or work.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the reported consumption difference between Astra High and Sol xHigh in Codex App version 26.901.51231 on Windows, then trace the usage accounting for those workers; done means usage matches the advertised proportional cost and does not exhaust a week's resets in a day.
