What issue are you seeing?

My Codex usage suddenly dropped from 78% to 3% today, September 9, 2026.

At around 7 PM, I still had roughly 78% of my weekly usage remaining. I’ve only been running a single GPT-6 Astra thread with one agent doing some minor work. Then, out of nowhere, I got a popup saying I only had 3% of my weekly usage left.

That doesn’t seem possible at all. There’s no way a single thread doing light work could have used around 75% of my weekly allowance that quickly. This looks like a usage tracking or billing issue.

I opened a support ticket through the support, page but this has now automatically been closed!
