hot take: you should basically never use ultra effort with 5.6 sol in codex
> it uses WAY too many tokens
> your usage will get drained super fast (even on pro)
> codex usage tracker doesn't update fast enough for you to react until it's too late
learned this the hard way

there’s something deeply wrong with how codex is tracking usage
always seems to be fine for a bit after a reset
then slowly it regresses and your limits are gone in a few prompts
something about the gpt-5.6 launch triggered this regression
hope they find the deeper issue soon
