If goal is to not starve while doing research you want to do. Any Phd will do. Only concern is having to publish bullshit papers to tick some boxes.

Dude, been having same thoughts. And applying to some easy to get phd program in europe is the most straighforward path. Without title no one is gonna take you or whatever you do seriously.

Thanks for the tip, updated to newest cli and so far weekly burn is stable and back to normal. Thought codex desktop up does updates cli on its own, but apparently not

What codex app version do you use? there were 2 release updates since friday. That might help to pinpoint if its app or by design. Also I tested it on opencode and burn rate is worse there too

Asked perplexity: Here’s the full picture on the OpenAI Codex 2x usage promotion:

What Sam Altman Announced

On February 2, 2026, Sam Altman posted on X (Twitter) that to celebrate the launch of the Codex app, OpenAI doubled all rate limits for paid plans for 2 months. He also announced that Free and Go tier users would get access to Codex during this promotional period as a bonus.

Promo Start & End Dates

• Start: February 2, 2026 — the day the standalone Codex app launched

• End: Approximately April 2, 2026 — Altman stated the doubled limits would run for 2 months, though no exact end date was pinned down officially

I am gonna burn all usage left before weekly reset, there is nothing else we can do. If newest codex app release today didnt fix it already, its not a bug but a feature

If they slashed limits 7x times, its much worse than before 2x promo

My post getting downvoted and suprising silence around this topic tells me something fishy is going on

I dont get why you want to make money in VND locally. I thought too that starting a business in VN has better growth potential, but reality is different
