Predict and control task usage
“The problem is that before starting the task I had no practical way to know whether it would consume 2%, 5%, 10%, or 20% of my weekly allowance.”
What gets counted gets built. Pile on.

What's included
- When starting or leaving a Codex task running, people cannot tell how much of their 5-hour, weekly or purchased allowance it will consume, and want to plan and cap that consumption.
- Estimates before a task and actual consumption after, across models and reasoning levels.
- Remaining usage shown as development time so substantial work is not started without enough capacity.
- Per-task spending limits and automatic pausing at a chosen usage threshold.
- Confirmation before purchased credits are used once included usage is exhausted.
Not included
- Getting more or more flexible capacity to keep developing without interruption.
- Automatically resuming an interrupted task once the limit resets.
