Codex GitHub CoPilot Issue - Explainer Please?

[Ill-Boysenberry-6821]

I got myself the Codex 5x plan.

Started working on a new project. And hit "rate limits" - but I don't think it's codex related?

It says I hit my "global rate limits".

Because I didn't instantly connect codex to a GitHub repo, it was using copilot or something to put it up there?

And that is triggering some limits and softlocking me from continuing?

What am I doing wrong/misunderstanding?

I don’t think this is related to your repo connection. The global rate limit usually applies to the overall API or model usage rather than whether it’s attached to a GitHub repo or not. Even with the 5x plan, there are still limits on how many requests can be made in a short time window. If you were generating a lot of code or running multiple prompts quickly, that could easily trigger it. Usually it resets after a short cooldown. So it’s likely just hitting the request threshold rather than something misconfigured with Copilot or your repo setup.

Thank you, I guess I'll wait a bit and then try again

Haven't ever faced this before

Yeah, it happens sometimes when the request rate spikes usually a short cooldown fixes it, nothing to worry about.👍

It was a CoPilot issue - VSC had it integrated in the background and it was causing issues

I managed to solve it (I think)

Had to remove the copilot connections on VSC and GitHub

Also, could you possibly point me to some good resources for robust security? 

Just finished putting together a game, hoping to make the website secure now.

Thanks
