# OpenAI Codex quota exceeded — 2026-04-30

At ~23:43 PT during round-3, codex started returning `ERROR: Quota exceeded. Check your plan and billing details.` for every call.

## What's affected
- Round-3 POKE+APPLY batch on 15 FIX BEFORE SHIP projects: aborted. **No source files were modified by round-3** — codex bails before any tool call when quota is exhausted.
- All prior round artifacts are intact: review.md, CHANGES.md, rereview.md, CHANGES2.md per project, plus the resize-it / am-recrawl POKE work.

## What still works tonight (Claude-only)
- Read all artifacts and synthesize cross-project reports (TOP_FINDINGS.md, SECRETS_AT_RISK.md, NEEDS_AUTH.md, CONSENSUS.md per project)
- pm2 fleet health monitoring
- Manual surgical fixes Claude can do directly (without codex)
- Memory updates

## What Steve needs to do in the morning
1. Top up OpenAI account or wait for quota reset (rate limits usually reset on calendar day in PT)
2. Run `codex login status` to confirm key is still valid (not revoked)
3. If wanting to resume: re-run round-3 via the inline-bash pattern in this dir (see `all-night.log` for the exact loop)

## Token spend so far
- Pass 1 (review): 25 calls × ~5k tokens ≈ 125k tokens
- Pass 2 (fix): 25 calls × ~10k tokens ≈ 250k tokens
- Pass 3 (rereview): 18 calls × ~6k tokens ≈ 108k tokens
- Pass 4 (round-2 fix): 14 calls × ~10k tokens ≈ 140k tokens
- POKE: 2 calls × ~5k tokens ≈ 10k tokens
- POKE-apply: 1 call × ~3k tokens ≈ 3k tokens
- Round-3 (failed): 12 attempts but all aborted before any meaningful work
- **Total ≈ 636k tokens** ≈ probably $5-15 in API spend depending on tier

For sanity, the quota error suggests Steve hit a daily or monthly cap, not a credit-out condition. A credit-out usually says "insufficient credits" not "quota exceeded".

## Codex quota recovered 2026-05-01T21:34:37Z
Verified by probe: `codex exec ... 'Print: PONG'` returned `PONG` (was `ERROR: Quota exceeded` until ~13:33 PT). Reset took ~14h from 23:43 PT halt.

Round-3 is resumable now. Or run the new 3-way claude-codex skill on any project.
