Summary

Codex removed the 5-hour rate limit some time ago and has now restored it for Plus and Team, while Pro stays weekly-only. OpenCodex reads the same account state from two wires, and only one of them classifies windows by duration.

parseUsageQuota has always used the duration — anything under 24h is a burst window. parseUpstreamQuotaHeaders knew only "explicitly monthly, or else weekly", so once the 5h window returned it filed the burst reading as the weekly one. Identical upstream data, before this change:

headers {primary 97% / 300 min, secondary 12% / 10080 min}
  parseUpstreamQuotaHeaders -> {"weeklyPercent":97}
  parseUsageQuota           -> {"shortPercent":97,"shortWindowSeconds":18000,"weeklyPercent":12}

The comment above the call site records the premise that expired: "primary was the 5h window; it now carries weekly data for GPT plans" (core.ts:3777). True while the window was gone.

Three consequences, worst last:

  1. The real weekly reading (12%) is discarded — the primary overwrites it before the secondary is consulted.
  2. The GUI shows a weekly bar at 100% and no 5h bar, so the operator cannot tell which limit they hit.
  3. A 5h-exhausted account keeps weeklyPercent: 100 after the burst window resets, so pool routing avoids a healthy account until an unrelated WHAM refresh overwrites it.

Why src/routing/quota.ts is in this diff

codexAccountQuotaEvidence scored headroom from weekly and monthly only. That was survivable because the broken parser wrote 5h values into weeklyPercent — routing was seeing the burst by accident.

Fixing the parser alone would have moved a 5h-exhausted account from 0.03 to 0.88 headroom and routed it straight into a 429. The bug was cancelling itself out, and removing one half without the other is worse than leaving both. The two files must land together; the plan says so explicitly and a regression pins it.

Found by an independent plan audit before any code was written — recorded in devlog/_plan/260826_quota_window_and_backlog/001_audit_response.md (merged in #2644).

What changed

  • WEEKLY_WINDOW_MIN_MINUTES is derived from WEEKLY_WINDOW_MIN_SECONDS, never written as a literal, so the two parsers cannot drift to different thresholds.
  • A shared windowMinutes_ coercion, and isExplicitShortWindowMinutes as the minutes-domain twin of the existing isExplicitShortWindow — same strict <, same 24h discriminator.
  • The third branch: a declared sub-day primary becomes shortPercent/shortResetAt/shortWindowSeconds and vacates the primary slot so the secondary becomes the weekly reading.
  • A primary with no declared duration is untouched. Legacy payloads omit the header, and guessing there would reclassify every account that predates the field.

Verification

  • bun run typecheck — exit 0
  • bun run test — full suite, 0 fail
  • Receipt across the four affected suites — 201 pass, 0 fail

Falsified both ways before trusting either contract:

Reverted Result
the primaryIsShort branch 7 tests fail
the routing/quota.ts fold 1 test fails (headroom regression)

Tests added: five header-classification cases including the 1439-minute (short) / 1440-minute (weekly) boundary and the legacy no-duration path; a new tests/codex-quota-parser-parity.test.ts asserting the two parsers assign identical upstream data to the same windows; three routing regressions covering burst-exhausted, fully-exhausted, and weekly-bound accounts.

No GUI change in this PR — the 5h bar already renders once shortPercent is populated, so no screenshot applies.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

…lus/Team)

Codex removed the 5-hour rate limit some time ago and has now restored it for
Plus and Team, while Pro stays weekly-only. OpenCodex reads the same account
state from two wires and only one of them classifies windows by duration.

parseUsageQuota has always used the duration: anything under 24h is a burst
window. parseUpstreamQuotaHeaders knew only "explicitly monthly, or else
weekly", so once the 5h window returned it filed the burst reading as the
weekly one. Identical upstream data, before this change:

  headers {primary 97% / 300 min, secondary 12% / 10080 min}
    parseUpstreamQuotaHeaders -> {weeklyPercent: 97}
    parseUsageQuota           -> {shortPercent: 97, weeklyPercent: 12}

Three consequences, worst last: the real weekly reading is discarded; the GUI
shows a weekly bar at 100% and no 5h bar, so the operator cannot tell which
limit they hit; and a 5h-exhausted account keeps weeklyPercent=100 after the
burst window resets, so pool routing avoids a healthy account until an
unrelated WHAM refresh overwrites it.

The header parser now derives its threshold from the same constant the WHAM
parser uses, rather than repeating the number. A declared sub-day primary
becomes shortPercent/shortResetAt/shortWindowSeconds and vacates the primary
slot so the secondary can be what it always was: the weekly reading. A primary
with no declared duration is untouched, because legacy payloads omit the header
and guessing there would reclassify every account that predates the field.

src/routing/quota.ts changes with it, and must. codexAccountQuotaEvidence
scored headroom from weekly and monthly only. That was survivable while the
broken parser wrote 5h values into weeklyPercent - routing saw the burst by
accident. Fixing the parser alone moves a 5h-exhausted account from 0.03 to
0.88 headroom and routes it straight into a 429. The bug was cancelling itself
out; removing one half without the other is worse than leaving both.

Tests: five header-classification cases including the 1439/1440-minute
boundary and the legacy no-duration path; a new parity suite asserting the two
parsers assign identical upstream data to the same windows; three routing
regressions covering burst-exhausted, fully-exhausted, and weekly-bound
accounts. Falsified both ways - reverting the parser branch fails 7, reverting
the routing fold fails 1.

bun run typecheck exit 0. bun run test 0 fail.

Walkthrough

Changes

Quota header parsing now classifies declared primary windows shorter than 24 hours as burst windows. It preserves burst duration and reset data, assigns the secondary window to weekly usage, and includes burst data in routing headroom and reset calculations.

Changes

Quota window classification and routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Window duration classification
src/codex/quota.ts
Shared minute-based duration rules classify sub-day primary windows as burst windows, preserve their duration in seconds, and assign secondary windows to weekly usage. Lines 98-100, 225-242, 358-363, and 378-390.
Burst quota routing evidence
src/routing/quota.ts
Routing quota evidence now considers shortPercent for headroom and exhaustion, and shortResetAt for reset timing. Lines 44-49 and 58-61.
Classification and routing regression coverage
tests/codex-quota-parser-parity.test.ts, tests/rate-limit-reset-credits.test.ts
Tests cover parser parity, burst duration conversion, burst exhaustion, weekly preservation, reset attribution, missing durations, and the 1439/1440-minute boundary. Lines 1-111 and 484-574.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 31c16

Burst-exhausted accounts may remain excluded from routing after their quota resets because reset timestamps use incompatible units, causing avoidable 429s and reduced availability. This should be fixed before merge.

Normalize reset timestamps before filtering them.

parseUpstreamQuotaHeaders stores reset values such as 1787401330, which are Unix seconds. Line 63 compares the raw value with Date.now() in milliseconds. The filter removes normal future short-window resets. resetAtMs is then absent for burst-exhausted accounts.

Normalize the stored reset value to milliseconds before the Line 63 comparison and before assigning resetAtMs. Add a routing test with a future 10-digit shortResetAt.

P2 Badge Convert burst reset timestamps to milliseconds

When quota comes from the restored-window response headers, parseUpstreamQuotaHeaders stores x-codex-primary-reset-at unchanged as Unix seconds (for example, 1787401330), but this new shortResetAt entry is compared with millisecond-valued Date.now() and exposed as resetAtMs. Consequently every real header-derived burst reset is filtered out, so routing evidence for a burst-exhausted account omits its recovery time. Normalize epoch-second reset values to milliseconds before filtering and reporting them.
