Does Codex have token-hiding (cf Anthropic’s “subagents”)?

I was tempted to give Codex a try but a colleague was stung by their pricing. Apparently if you go over your Pro plan allocation, they just quietly and automatically start billing you per-token?

I tried Codex with the $20/month plan recently and it did exactly what Claude Code does, stop and tell you “sorry, you’re out of credit, come back in x days.”

Thank you, glad to hear it. Sounds like my colleague might have had it misconfigured. I’ll give Codex a try then.

Hey, I work on Codex—absolutely no way that a user on a Pro plan would somehow silently move to token-based billing. You just hit a limit and have to wait for the reset. (Which also sucks, and which we're also improving early warnings of.)

		Thanks for that, appreciate the clarification. I’ll check with my colleague and report back on his experience. Certainly don’t want to misrepresent.
