If your Codex quota has been consumed rapidly recently, your account may have been flagged for risk control.
According to community feedback, possible reasons include:
- Low-quality IP addresses, often due to shared nodes being abused
- Frequent account switching or cross-account session reuse (e.g., switching between multiple Plus accounts and continuing tasks in the same session)
- Entrusting login credentials to opaque reverse proxies, relays, or third-party tools
Of course, you can self-test whether your usage is normal through the following steps:
- First, visit the official usage page
https://chatgpt.com/codex/cloud/settings/analytics… - Open your browser’s developer tools and go to the Network tab
- On the Codex usage page, switch the time range to 7 days or 1 month, then search for “daily-workspace-usage-counts”
- Check the “total” value under the preview to confirm if the consumption is accurate
Here, the fields mean:
- credits: recorded quota consumption
- tokens: token usage
- turns: task turns
Based on real-world tests by some users, Pro 20x credits are roughly around 50,000–60,000. Therefore, Pro 5x should theoretically be around 12,500–15,000, and Plus around 2,500–3,000.
