Description

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

Version 26.903.61454

What subscription do you have?

Pro 20x

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Usage randomly drops to 0% from whatever previous usage it was at, persists at this usage level and will never go back up, persist through app updates, restarts, and different computers. App allows usage reset to be used, which then brings limits back up to 100% for a short period of time, then reverts back to before the previous limit dropped to 0%, effectively scamming me out of 130% of weekly usage.
