The codex spark model says it is free to use right now. My API usage is at 100%. When trying to send something with the codex spark model it still says I am out of usage and prompts me to switch to Composer 1.5 (nice models but I just wanna test the competition ;))
Steps to Reproduce
Be at 100% API usage and don’t be at 100% Auto usage.
Try to send something with the Codex Spark model which says it is Free during the Preview period.
Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a valid bug. Free preview models shouldn’t be blocked by the API usage limit. I’ve flagged it with the team.
As a workaround for now, you can enable on-demand usage in your dashboard so the API limit doesn’t block you, though I know that doesn’t fix the core issue with free models.
Once you reach your usage limit, the free/promotional models are not longer available. Have to enable on-demand usage to get access to them, even though they charge $0.
Steps to Reproduce
Enable GPT 5.3 Codex Spark Model, consume 100% of your usage limit, have on-demand usage disabled or limit already reached, try to make a request to GPT 5.3 Codex Spark. Then receive warning to increase limits or switch to Auto.
