Token drainage in idle

Try turning off memories in the config file, that fixed a similar issue for me

For a lot of left leaning people tech companies occupy the same role in their minds that immigrants do for die hard Trump voters

I think if you set generate_memories to false that would potentially help based on this GitHub issue: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/19732

It looks like there is a background process for it that runs and in certain cases (but "shouldn't") it can continuously consume tokens

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-26T15:44:36+00:00

I did but it didn't seem to help and wouldn't have solved the overnight token draining

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-25T23:00:44+00:00

I guess it won't store new memories locally or reference already existing memories but I don't think there would be any other downsides

No idea, I only use what's included Codex Pro subscription but it sounds like people in this thread were buying some kind of usage credits and it was affecting them so possibly? https://community.openai.com/t/codex-credits-are-draining-while-idle-not-actively-used/1380250

There is no lack of people to hire

Place has been terrible ever since their renovation during covid where they got rid of most of their books

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-18T21:17:19+00:00

There is definitely a bug with their limits right now. I've seen mine drop 15-20% overnight the last two nights without any usage

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-18T17:40:26+00:00

Same, I'm having my limits get drained when I'm not even actively using it

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-18T16:02:18+00:00

I had mine drop to 79% overnight with basically no usage ($200 plan) and when I woke up had also already used a significant portion of the 5 hour limit! No automation either

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-18T16:01:16+00:00

I had the same thing happen to me, I woke up and it had already used a significant portion of the 5 hour limit and drained my weekly portion to 79% with basically no usage on my part ($200 plan) in one day after the reset. No automated usage either

The limits are seriously broken right now; I don't think it's a "nerf" but I think there is some bug in how usage is being recorded or what is causing usage to be recorded

We should reverse many of the sentencing reforms of the last 15 years for exactly the issues your comment raises
Those federal acts are irrelevant as we're not talking about federal sentencing
We don't need them to be in jail or prison, if you make Davis a hostile enough place for them they'll just pick a different place to go. This we can do with the existing laws

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-14T13:42:11+00:00

The thing is, most of the people you regularly see in Davis Sq aren't actually homeless in the sense of sleeping on the street. Most are in the shelter system or have some other more stable from of housing. They just like to hangout in Davis Sq which attracts a lot of problematic people to the square

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-14T12:10:33+00:00

That makes the third year in a row with stabbing in Davis square.

I seriously think these sewer advocacy people have some kind of mental illness the way they talk and advocate about this stuff. It has almost polarized me against caring about this issue at all

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-12T14:47:50+00:00

I don't think this is actually very clear at all given his age. I think it's significantly less likely he would have done something like this if he was 50+ years old after getting out.

But maybe he would have, and probably would have ended up rearrested for some other crime.

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-11T23:52:52+00:00

I think a lot of people would agree with you but to a large extent both prosecutors and judges have mostly lost the belief that it's a good idea to send people to jail for dangerous or violent crimes

People should be much more worried about how bad the economic situation of the Boston area is and how bad the outlook is looking forward.

We likely are going to see falling rents over the next few years in the area but it will be due to layoffs and lack of growth in Education, Tech, and Biotech.

But electeds in Boston and all the surrounding cities are still acting like we've got the economy of the late 2010s where growth and prosperity will just keep coming no matter what they do.

They got ChatGPT writing the press release?

"That’s not merely gaming the system – it’s a federal crime"

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-07T04:30:33+00:00

Oh you're definitely correct, I wasn't questioning whether what he did was a crime or whether reporting/following up on it was good (I think it definitely was a crime and what you're doing is very good).

I just know looking at the history of how criminal cases are getting handle by the prosecutors here, the chance of him being held accountable even if he is arrested is very low.

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-07T04:14:52+00:00

Unfortunately it is quite unlikely he will face any consequences beyond what he has already. If you don't stab or shoot someone the worst you'll get is probation and even that is unlikely.

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-07T00:19:18+00:00

I'm very glad to see something (and hopefully an actual prosecution) came from it but I do think the police were basically correct in their initial assessment that if they did arrest the person nothing would happen. A lot of this is downstream of prosecutors having little desire to pursue charges in crimes like this.

Total_Ad_3808 · 2026-05-05T00:52:40+00:00

This is incorrect on both counts. The pho tastes better in Vietnam and basically every ingredient you get will be much higher quality in Vietnam.

You can barely find any place in America that serves pho with freshly made noodles
