OpenAI fixes Codex bug that burned usage limits too fast

OpenAI's Codex lead said auto-review and subagents sometimes ran more often than intended or retried too aggressively, draining usage limits. Fixes were deployed and limits were reset for all users.

Who is affected:: Codex users who hit usage limits early in late June 2026.
What to do:: No action needed. Limits were reset.

"All fixes are now deployed, and we've added more detailed monitoring so we can detect background-usage regressions sooner."
