Codex RescueUsage & credits

Check your Codex usage

The useful number is the one in your account. Here’s where to find it and what to check next.

Where do I see my remaining allowance?

For plan-based Codex usage, start in Settings or your account’s usage dashboard. In an active CLI session, /status is a documented way to inspect your current state. Menu labels can vary by client and release.

You may need to sign in to OpenAI. Codex Rescue cannot read your account or show a live personal balance.

CLI analytics versus remaining limits

The CLI 0.156.0 release notes document /usage as an analytics dashboard for account usage, token totals, and plugin and skill activity. Use a supported release; analytics totals and the current remaining allowance answer different questions.

Match the number to the allowance

  • Plan limits: check which allowance is exhausted and the reset time shown for it.
  • Purchased or workspace credits: read the credit balance and applicable workspace policy, rather than treating them as a universal message quota.
  • API-key billing: use the OpenAI API usage dashboard. API usage and ChatGPT plan allowances are separate.

If the numbers do not look right

Confirm the account, workspace and sign-in method first. A changed plan, a granted reset or a different allowance can explain why two views differ. This site does not estimate exact remaining tokens from public pricing, task counts or someone else’s limits.

Sources and scope

Account destinations, plan-versus-API billing and /status are described in OpenAI’s Codex plan guidance. For release-specific commands and differences, follow the source notes in our detailed guide. This directory helps you reach authoritative account information; it is not an account integration.
