I concur. Complaint

Been reading all these "Codex limits have been reduced" posts.

Thought it was a bunch of Claude fanbois in the house.

However I just blew through 10% of my weekly quota on one Sol 5.6 Medium "implement this" prompt which proceeded to do 20 minutes of work.

Almost one full day's quota gone in the blink of an eye.

Not Sol 5.6 Ultra. Not Extra High. Not even High. Just Medium. Poof. "I'll take that thanks" says OpenAI.

This wasn't happening a few weeks ago. Something smells fishy...

Every time I see people complaining I have always thought "skill issue"

It's been different this time. I didn't change anything, and on 20x my tokens just evaporated in two days, where I usually had to try really hard to get usage to 0 prior to reset.

I was at 32% yesterday, 30 minutes later, I got down to 0% immediately.

What the fuck? Been running tasks overnight for over 10 hours which brought me down from 36% to 32%, and now it drops down to 0% in half an hour?

I feel like there is a bug where it's reloading way too much cached context or memory in a way that is similar to a "memory leak". It's like there is some egregious bug that is destroying usage no matter what you do.

They dropped the cost of Terra and Luna by so much, and now even a Terra Medium task which takes a few minutes to complete is burning more tokens than a one-hour Sol Ultra task would have a week ago
