Summary

OpenAI is accused of secretly modifying quotas and limiting concurrency, affecting personal accounts and proxy services, sparking user dissatisfaction.

Apart from personal accounts, proxies are also affected. Not only have the quotas been secretly modified, but concurrency has also been strictly limited. This isn't the first time OpenAI has done something like this. Previously, when computing resources were tight, quotas were limited. At that time, we calculated that the affected Pro accounts would lose 40% of their quota. Unexpectedly, they've now also limited concurrency, which is truly hard to comment on. A place doesn't even pretend anymore, openly blocking you. OpenAI is just being secretly malicious, annoying people 😇

Beyond personal accounts, relay/proxy services are also being affected
Not only are quotas being secretly altered, but concurrency is also being severely restricted

This isn’t the first time OpenAI has pulled something like this
Back when computing resources were tight, they had already imposed quota limits
We calculated back then that affected Pro accounts lost about 40% of their quota
Who would have thought they’d now restrict concurrency as well—truly hard to comment…

A is at least being blatant about banning you directly
OpenAI, on the other hand, plays dirty behind your back—frustrating 😇

Sac (@Saccc_c):
If your Codex quota has been depleting unusually fast recently, your account may have been flagged for risk control

Based on community feedback, here are some possible reasons:

  • Low-quality IP, with nodes shared by multiple users leading to abuse
  • Frequent account switching and cross-account session reuse (e.g., switching between multiple Plus accounts and continuing tasks in the same session)
  • Sharing login credentials with opaque reverse proxies, relay services, or third-party tools
