AICodex usage-limit concerns over task check-ins and automations
One user wonders whether cache misses are draining their Codex allowance during long-running tasks. Another plans to move automations to a different back end after unexpectedly high usage.
TLDR
On September 21, 2026, a Codex user reported losing 20% of their usage allowance that day just to check-ins on long-running tasks. They wondered whether cache misses were the main reason their limits ran out so quickly. A second user reported 90% usage over the weekend despite doing little, attributed most of it to automations, and said they planned to switch those to a different back end.
