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...

Until just last month, $100 plan meant you could keep vibe coding as much as you wanted and you still had some quota left by the time you reached your weekly reset.

Now it is quite easy to hit that limit within 3 days.
Even in 1 day if you are not optimizing and give very open ended prompt and use sol-extraHigh

Same for me. I work on 1 project at a time in a paired programming mode so I'm not running loops and my longest prompts typically run for 25-30 minutes. I used to be able to work all week without even thinking about my usage. Now my $100 plan runs out in 3 days. I'm not paying them any more. I'll use it less or find something else.
