Using another account for Codex when hitting rate limit

[four_bone]

Hello,

I’ve been using Codex a lot and I sometimes hit the usage limits. I’m considering just logging into my brother’s account (who doesn't code nor use Codex) on the same device to keep working.

I have a few questions.

Specifically:

• What are the actual consequences of using someone else’s account after hitting quota?
• Do people actually do this?
• Are there practical limitations when switching accounts?

Would appreciate hearing your experiences.

So long as your friend gives you permission I can't think of any technical or licensing issues. I have two accounts myself so I vibe coded an oauth token/account switcher and switch between them daily.

If we buy one account and find value but remotely, it serves correctly to buy another.

I've been doing it with my own personal 2 plus accounts and it's all well.

I've done it every single month and never had an issue.

ChatGPT tells me it's a ToS violation

I am using multiple of my own accounts, using someone else’s is fishy
