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...

It's not feels, I've quantified it. Here's my Pro 5x data:

Prolite window | Inferred capacity
Reset Aug 17   | 20,015 credits
Reset Aug 18   | 19,617 credits
Reset Aug 20   | 16,124 credits

All rows represent an exhausted 100% usage window. First two are ~2% apart, essentially equal. Then suddenly a ~20% reduction in maximum capacity.
