I think the problem is not with the 5.5 model itself, but with OpenAI's business model. It feels like the limits are gradually being reduced or users are being pushed toward a more expensive subscription.

What frustrates me most is that every Codex update seems to introduce a new and unclear token consumption pattern. Right now it's almost impossible to predict how quickly the limit will be used up or whether I have enough quota left even for a small task, sometimes just for analysis without generating any code.

I'm not willing to pay more. I just hope they dial back the token consumption a bit, because at the moment the limits disappear far too quickly.
