Could you please share Request IDs and any screenshots of your usage please?

[G4Q4 (George G)]

You can see that with just one codex request, it’s charged me for three requests where it should just be one.

[G4Q4 (George G)]

Please let me know where I can find the request ID.

[G4Q4 (George G)]

I think this is my chat ID

8f602728-efd4-43dd-a8f7-8ca242bdc6d5

[G4Q4 (George G)]

I think I’ve burned through about 200 more requests than if I were using the advertised request rates.

I’m having the same issue. Although it’s marked as 1x request, it’s actually consuming more. I’m using gpt-5-high

[sanjeed5 (Sanjeed)]

@G4Q4 were you using Max mode by any chance? Max mode can consume more tokens/requests

[sanjeed5 (Sanjeed)]

@coolboy5398 can you please share Request IDs and usage dashboard?

[coolboy5398 (Coresdy)]

Request ID is 710f8bb7-3a73-40f1-a035-faf8b299378c
The two screenshots show my usage before and after today. I believe I was using the model at the standard 1x request rate in both cases

[G4Q4 (George G)]

@sanjeed5 No im not using max mode. Any update on this bug being resolved?
Also, are we going to be compensated for all these wasted tokens?
