Description

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

Version 26.901.51231

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

After using GPT-6 Astra on a relatively light task for only 3 minutes, it drained 100% of my five-hour limit usage.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Actually, it's hard to say, but I don't know. Give it a task on GPT-6 Astralite, I guess.

What is the expected behavior?

I would think it would take, I don't know, 10% of the usage max.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report in Codex App version 26.901.51231 on Windows with GPT-6 Astra or Astralite, while measuring the five-hour usage limit before and after a short task. No source files, tests, or entry points are named; done means identifying why the limit is exhausted so quickly and confirming that comparable light tasks consume the expected amount.
