OpenAI Fixes 8 Codex Quota-Draining Bugs, Resets Credits for Paid Users

OpenAI has patched eight categories of issues in Codex that were silently draining usage quotas, and reset credits for all paying Codex and ChatGPT Work users. According to Tibo, the same allocation now stretches 10%-50% longer depending on how the product is used. The biggest token waster was /goal: some tasks that were already finished never stopped running, consuming as much as 15%-70% of a weekly quota in a single session. Computer History also burned roughly 20% of weekly credits in certain cases by repeatedly summarizing past operations. Additional overhead was found in image compression, background memory, automated tasks, sub-agents and MCP. The good news may not end there. Tibo had teased that Codex was approaching a new user milestone, hinting at a celebration. After today's bug-fix reset, he said the button had already been pressed that day, so the celebration would move to tomorrow. Codex has marked milestones such as 15M and 20M users with credit resets before, making another reset tomorrow a strong possibility.
