    Why Codex burns a weekly limit in a day while the agent waits for the tide

    A token leak in Codex's goal mode causes users to burn through $200 weekly subscription limits in a day. The issue stems from the orchestrator restarting the model every 0.03 seconds while waiting for child agents, forcing it to reread 120–470k tokens per continuation until hitting rate limits. Proposed fixes include using models with native sleep support or implementing pauses between continuations.
