Installation
Copy codex-quota.py to your path:
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
