Summary

After exhausting the quota for GPT-5.6 Sol, switching to GPT-5.3 Codex Spark does not allow sending prompts. The chat session remains locked with the previous usage limit error, even though the account settings show 100% remaining quota for GPT-5.3 Codex Spark.

Observed Behavior
  1. In the account usage settings, GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark clearly shows:
    • 5-hour limit: 100% remaining
    • Weekly limit: 100% remaining
  2. In the chat window, the banner states:
    You're out of Codex and Work usage. Add credits to keep going now, or wait for usage to reset on 9월 13일 오전 10:36
  3. Prompt submission remains completely blocked with the warning:
    사용 한도에 도달했습니다. 계속하려면 크레딧을 추가하거나 2026. 9. 13. 오전 10:36에 다시 시도하세요.

Research direction

Start with feedback ID 019fea46-f61b-7db2-8175-4cddd0cbf3a9 and compare the account usage settings with the chat window's limit state. Reproduce by exhausting GPT-5.6 Sol, switching to GPT-5.3 Codex Spark, and attempting to submit a prompt; done means the available Spark quota permits submission.
