OpenAI set up a “warroom” to investigate a flurry of user reports that its coding agent<\/a> is hitting usage limits faster than usual.<\/p>\n

An update on OpenAI’s status page<\/a> said that some users’ Codex limits are “depleting faster than expected” and that it was related to its “abuse and fraud prevention systems incorrectly rate limiting certain accounts.”<\/p>\n

Thibault Sottiaux, the engineering lead for OpenAI’s Codex, said on Sunday that the company implemented an across-the-board reset of user caps while it looked into the issue.<\/p>\n

“Codex team is in a warroom on a Sunday combing through logs and checking whether there is anything that could lead to increased usage drains for some users,” Sottiaux said in a separate Sunday X post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Taking it very seriously and won’t rest until we get to the bottom of it.”<\/p>\n

Usage limits track how much compute an AI coding task has used. Codex’s usage limits are displayed on a user’s dashboard as a percentage. More intense tasks burn through credits faster, and the limit varies by subscription tier.<\/p>\n

what has happened to codex limits?<\/p>\n

they went from practically infinite tokens to weekly quota gone in 2-3 days on the pro 20x plan.<\/p>\n

However, a wide mix of Codex users took to X over the weekend to report that they were reaching the limit faster compared to just a week ago for similar tasks.<\/p>\n

“It really seems something is off. I have the $200 plan, and I had to work hard the entire week to burn through the 7 days’ usage,” wrote a software engineer<\/a> called Adam. “The last two days burned the entire week’s usage in one day each, and I had to use reset for the 1st time.”<\/p>\n

OpenAI’s status page added that the impact appears limited and it is continuing to monitor the situation.<\/p>\n

As we are still investigating, I have reset everyone’s Codex usage limits. This is a hard reset given some users had stacked up to three banked resets already that they can apply on their own schedule.<\/p>\n

Funnily enough, this week at OpenAI is called the RESET week, which is meant\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/UdCSbW03QU<\/a><\/p>\n

AI companies have gradually been reducing usage limits as the soaring popularity of their tools has strained compute resources. In March, Anthropic adjusted Claude usage caps<\/a> during peak hours. Some software engineers have been restructuring their days while they wait for usage limits to reset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More broadly, AI providers have been moving away from all-you-can-eat use of their tools, while companies have started limiting employee AI use to keep costs down<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OpenAI’s Codex limit issue follows an outage earlier this month<\/a>. Anthropic has had similar problems, and a Claude outage in March underscored how much software engineers now rely on the technology,<\/a> as some bemoaned having to write code by hand again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI set up a “warroom” to investigate a flurry of user reports that its coding agent is hitting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[24,53,47511,47512,532,2517,17228,157,371,752,47513,47509,760,47510,2073],"class_list":["post-89772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-openai","tag-ai","tag-anthropic","tag-codex-credit","tag-codex-limit","tag-company","tag-day","tag-march","tag-openai","tag-software-engineer","tag-tool","tag-usage-drain","tag-usage-limit","tag-user","tag-warroom","tag-week"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
