What issue are you seeing?

After upgrading my ChatGPT subscription from Plus to Pro 5x ($100/month), the Codex usage dashboard and the CLI /status command both show that 80% of my weekly limit remains. This is consistent with my previous Plus usage being approximately 20% of the new Pro 5x allowance.

However, every actual model request is still rejected as if the original Plus weekly limit were exhausted.

The problem occurs in both the Codex desktop client and Codex CLI. Logging out and signing in again did not resolve it.

Codex CLI /status shows:

• Account: [REDACTED] (Pro Lite)
• Weekly limit: 80% left, resets at 09:01 on Aug 10, 2026
• GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark weekly limit: 100% left
• Premium limit: blank

With gpt-5.6-luna and reasoning set to low, I sent:

只回答 OK，不读取或修改文件。

The request failed with:

You've hit your usage limit. Upgrade to Pro, purchase more credits, or try again at Aug 10th, 2026 9:01 AM.

The same usage-limit error occurs with gpt-5.6-sol.

When selecting gpt-5.3-codex-spark, the CLI instead returns:

{"type":"error","status":400,"error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"The 'gpt-5.3-codex-spark' model is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account."}}

Therefore, the usage information displayed by /status and the usage dashboard does not match the entitlement and rate-limit checks performed when a request is submitted.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019fd63c-3a15-7d10-86db-ee22dadacfab

What is the expected behavior?

After upgrading from ChatGPT Plus to Pro 5x, Codex CLI and the desktop client should use the upgraded plan's remaining allowance immediately.

Since both the usage dashboard and /status show 80% of the weekly limit remaining, supported model requests should not be rejected as having reached the weekly usage limit.

The plan name, available models, displayed usage limits, and server-side entitlement checks should be consistent. If GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is not available for this account, /status should not display a usable Spark limit of 100%.
