Pedal faster, Codex is about to reset. The community noticed Codex usage is depleting much faster, and now the official investigation is here—turns out there’s an issue. Using images in long conversations and compressing them multiple times is causing resource waste. The peak usage of the Computer History feature exceeded expectations. A small feature originally meant to just generate chat titles is consuming way more than anticipated. The result? Some users are experiencing lower cache hit rates, which means the same tasks are using up more credits. OpenAI says they’ve set up a dedicated team to fix this and have discovered a new efficiency optimization plan, expected to roll out next week.
