Weekly limit is draining like the old 5-hour limit
### What issue are you seeing? Since the 5-hour limit disappeared, the weekly limit is dropping at about the same speed as the old 5-hour limit did. I am using the same normal setup as before, GPT-5.5 High. I am not using Sol or any unusual heavy mode. Before this change, a normal work session mainly reduced the 5-hour limit and the weekly limit lasted much longer. Now the weekly allowance drops very quickly during the same kind of work. ### What steps can reproduce the bug? 1. Open Codex in VS Code. 2. Select GPT-5.5 High. 3. Use it normally on an existing project. 4. Check the weekly usage before and after the session. The weekly percentage drops at roughly the rate the old 5-hour limit used to drop. The same weekly usage value is also visible in ChatGPT Settings, so this does not seem to be only an extension display bug. ### What is the expected behavior? Removing the 5-hour limit should not reduce the total weekly capacity. The weekly limit should still last roughly as long as it did before, instead of behaving like a single old 5-hour allowance. ### Additional information I first noticed this after the 5-hour limit disappeared from the usage page in July 2026. My model choice and normal workflow did not change. This happens with GPT-5.5 High, so Sol is not required to see the problem. Please check whether the weekly allowance was reduced or if the usage accounting is wrong.
