Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.908.40401 There is no About Codex dialog, and the About ChatGPT doesn't allow cut/paste
What subscription do you have?
Individual Plus
What platform is your computer?
Debian GNU Linux 7.1.13+deb14-amd64
What issue are you seeing?
- Codex usage on Plus isn't presented in a unit a customer can independently understand or audit. “5h limit” describes the rate-limit window, not five hours of usable Codex time, while actual consumption varies according to an opaque compute calculation. That makes it impossible to know in advance how much Codex the $20 subscription actually buys.
- There also isn't a straightforward higher-capacity individual subscription between Plus and the substantially more expensive alternatives. Please provide transparent usage units and an individual upgrade option for heavier Codex users.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Feedback ID: no-active-thread-01a0971a-1833-7dc2-8eb9-8f8b118ff59d
What is the expected behavior?
Reasonably transparent billing. An upgrade option from personal plus to something less than $100/month.
