Skill: codex-quota
Check OpenAI Codex CLI rate limit status.
Quick Reference
bash
# Run the included Python script ./codex-quota.py # Or if installed to PATH codex-quota
Options
bash
codex-quota # Show current quota (cached from latest session) codex-quota --fresh # Ping Codex first for live data codex-quota --all # Update all accounts, save to /tmp/codex-quota-all.json codex-quota --json # Output as JSON codex-quota --help # Show help
What It Shows
- •Primary Window (5 hours) — Short-term rate limit
- •Secondary Window (7 days) — Weekly rate limit

- •Source session file and age
Installation
Copy codex-quota.py to your path:
bash
cp skills/codex-quota/codex-quota.py ~/bin/codex-quota chmod +x ~/bin/codex-quota
How It Works
Codex CLI logs rate limit info in every session file (~/.codex/sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/*.jsonl) as part of token_count events. This tool:
- •Finds the most recent session file
- •Extracts the last
rate_limitsobject - •Formats and displays it
When to Use
- •Before starting heavy Codex work (check weekly quota)
- •When Codex seems slow (might be rate-limited)
- •Monitoring quota across multiple accounts
