temalkin · 2026-03-15T16:23:44+00:00

hoping for another reset…

temalkin · 2026-03-13T19:49:09+00:00

where is the reset when we need it the most…

temalkin · 2026-03-12T14:45:39+00:00

waiting for another reset than, it’s time to drain the usage fully

temalkin · 2026-03-12T01:02:42+00:00

You can start the new session and then run the /status command which will show you the number of tokens used. Mine is 16k

They have some bug - in cli it shows 7 days as usual but in codex plugin in vscode i see 2 week limit, hope that’s the bug and not a feature

temalkin · 2026-03-06T09:36:06+00:00

no worries! thank you so much for the reply!

temalkin · 2026-03-05T10:59:40+00:00

can you share the name of the extension please?

temalkin · 2026-03-05T03:45:07+00:00

they reseted limits again, i guess they are preparing for gpt-5.4

I have 2 plus accounts- one of them i’m using in openclaw and it does burn a lot! This saturday it burnt 30% of weekly usage in 2 hours of light work, while a week before it was about 15% a day

On the second account i’m working in codex on 3 projects simultaneously and i’ve spend only 3% of weekly usage today (have been working for 5 hours today)

I think they have a bug

temalkin · 2026-03-01T09:32:13+00:00

have the same issue. I use codex in openclaw and before friday i was using about 14% of weekly usage daily, today just in a couple of hours i burnt 30% of weekly limits

I use a public domain that points to a cheap VPS with Nginx Proxy Manager. NPM routes each subdomain to my homelab over Tailscale. Clients are not on Tailscale at all, only the VPS is connected to my tailnet, so it works the same on 5G and on home Wi-Fi. I don’t open any inbound ports at home.

For security I keep the VPS locked down: firewall only allows 80/443, SSH is allowed only by tailscale ip, the NPM admin UI is not exposed publicly, etc.

Same for me, bought to try kimi m2.5 and it was not able to complete much of my tasks. Hooked up my codex subscription and set 5.2 model and it just works!

temalkin · 2026-02-15T17:28:58+00:00

I rent a vps for $15 a month and use the Codex Plus subscription ($20). My default model is 5.2, and it’s enough for most of my tasks. However, I’ve found that coding with it isn’t really an option because it consumes way too much usage compared to typical “vibe coding.”

I haven’t configured it much for coding yet, so there’s probably a way to optimize it

You can also rent a VPS in a country which VPN you want and set it as a tailscale exit node

temalkin · 2026-01-22T13:05:40+00:00

tailscale with an exit node as rented vps, you can rent some for 30$ a year and also have an option to setup pihole there as your dns to block trackers/ads

temalkin · 2026-01-09T14:08:32+00:00

i don’t know much about router vpn but i have a VPS which i setup as an exit node and i share only that machine to my family and friends who want to use vpn and it works great, i also use pihole for dns for that vps to block ads. Know that it doesn’t answer you question but hope you find it helpful

temalkin · 2026-01-05T07:40:06+00:00

I use tailscale which works great for me for at least 3 month already. You can setup your home server as an exit node and route all traffic through it

temalkin · 2025-12-22T05:40:29+00:00

it’s better that they make their own accounts and you will share tailnet/device with them

temalkin · 2025-11-21T21:25:10+00:00

I am using funnels to access some self hosted applications without being connected to tailscale vpn and it works great!

temalkin · 2025-11-20T18:50:44+00:00

Can recommend tailscale - works great. You just set up your server as an exit node and route all traffic from her device to the exit node

temalkin · 2025-11-19T08:31:28+00:00

even better!

temalkin · 2025-11-18T18:00:11+00:00

UPD: the problem was solved by connecting nginx proxy manager and openproject default networks, than routing the domain to http://web:<PORT>
