Codex doctor report

What issue are you seeing?

I registered a new 20x account to try gpt-6 astra due to "selected model is at capacity" error few days ago. After a few days, it is very obvious that newly registered 20x account consumes quota much faster than experienced ones. Same workload, the new account consumes 1.5x to 2x faster than old account. Is new account designed to pay quota tax? Please fix.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

try same workload on new/old pro 20x accounts.

What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

No source file, entry point, or test is identified. Start by reproducing the same workload with new and old 20x accounts, then compare their quota consumption while recording the model and platform details provided here. Done means the reported 1.5x–2x difference is explained and equivalent workloads no longer consume quota at different rates.
