Codex Addresses Rate-Limit Usage Drain

Codex’s rate-limit problems appear to be driven partly by product instrumentation and context-management overhead, not just user demand.

• –Image-heavy sessions and repeated compactions can inflate usage unexpectedly
• –Computer History’s high-tail usage suggests background context collection needs tighter controls
• –Automatic title generation shows how seemingly minor UX features can consume meaningful capacity at scale
• –The planned reset offers short-term relief, but durable fixes require better usage accounting and clearer quota visibility
