Problem

When a Codex account has used 100% of its weekly included allowance but can still spend credits, T3's quota fallback treats it as exhausted anyway. Title generation and the new-thread default then move to another provider, even though Codex chats on that account keep working. In the report, title regeneration went to OpenCode's openai/gpt-5, which was unavailable on that setup, so the title silently stayed the same. The cause is that codexRateLimitsToLimits drops the credits and spendControlReached fields from Codex's account/rateLimits/read response, so exhaustedUsageWindow only sees "weekly 100%".

Reproduced on main (9b1d351) by replaying the reporter's probe values through the real mapping and routing functions: an account with credits, one with no credits, and one with credits but spend control reached all produce identical usage limits, and all three fall back (transcript below).

Change

• Codex's usage probe now sets an optional continuesOnCredits on the provider's usage limits. It is set only when the account has spendable or unlimited credits and has no explicit block: spend control reached, a workspace_* limit reason, or an exhausted monthly credit limit.
• exhaustedUsageWindow returns nothing when that flag is true. It is the shared check behind text-generation fallback, the web and mobile new-thread default, and MCP thread creation, so every routing path stays on the selected Codex account.
• Only the probe can grant the flag. A live account/rateLimits/updated notification can only revoke it, and only when it carries an explicit block signal. null fields mean "unavailable" in Codex's schema, so they neither grant nor revoke. A revocation is stored as false, so a probe that started before the block cannot grant over it, while a newer probe resets it.
• An account with no credits, or with spending blocked, keeps today's fallback, resume and reset handling unchanged. The usage bars still show the exhausted window.

Scope and approval

Fixes #27792

Triaged via the automated issue flow.

Verification

• Red test first: Codex fallback routing > keeps an account with spendable credits after its weekly allowance runs out (apps/server/src/provider/codexUsageLimits.test.ts) fails on main with weekly allowance used up but credits remain spendable: expected { id: 'secondary', … } to be undefined and passes on this branch.
• Focused tests: codexUsageLimits.test.ts 16/16, packages/provider-core/src/server/usageLimits.test.ts 9/9, managedProvider.test.ts 11/11, packages/shared/src/usageLimits.test.ts 59/59. They cover wire-shaped notifications with explicit nulls: blocked probes stay blocked, eligible probes survive credits: null, and spendControlReached: true or depleted credits revoke. They also cover probe/notification ordering. vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck of 35 packages, and tests.
• No UI rendering changes, so no captures. Routing for the draft fallback notice and the composer default changes through the shared helper, and the replay covers that via resolveNewThreadModelSelection.

Not checked: a live Codex account with exhausted allowance and positive credits (none is available to us). The notification shape (explicit nulls) comes from the generated app-server schema, not from a captured payload. The hub (CLIProxyAPI) usage source is display-only and unchanged.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Credit-capable Codex accounts now remain eligible after quota exhaustion instead of triggering provider fallback. This changes default routing and can consume account credits, requiring confirmation that the spending behavior is intended.

Walkthrough

Codex rate-limit data now determines whether usage limits continue on credits. Usage-limit updates preserve explicit credit revocations across window changes and probe resolution. Exhaustion detection skips fallback selection when credit continuation is enabled.

Changes: Codex credit-aware usage limits

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Codex credit signals and policy packages/contracts/src/providerUsageLimits.ts, apps/server/src/provider/codexUsageLimits.ts, apps/server/src/provider/codexUsageLimits.test.ts	Usage-limit contracts add credit continuation and Codex snapshots add credit and spend-control fields. Codex conversion sets continuation only when credits or unlimited access are explicit and blocking signals do not apply. Updates can emit an explicit credit revocation.
Credit revocation state propagation packages/provider-core/src/server/usageLimits.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/usageLimits.test.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/snapshot.ts	Usage-limit updates retain credit revocations, including updates without changed windows. Probe resolution preserves a published revocation over an older probe. Tests cover these cases and streamed window updates.
Credit-aware exhaustion detection packages/shared/src/usageLimits.ts, apps/server/src/provider/codexUsageLimits.test.ts	Exhaustion detection returns undefined when usage limits indicate continuation on credits. Codex tests cover exhausted windows, available credits, and blocking signals.

The change keeps Codex selected when credits can cover an exhausted allowance and preserves existing fallback behavior otherwise. The only remaining concern is minor extra status publication for blocked accounts, so no merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#27792] has two coding requirements. The PR implements credit-aware Codex routing and preserves fallback behavior for blocked or unavailable credits. The reported tests cover routing, notification revocation, and probe ordering. The PR does not implement the separate requirement to show an error that identifies the failed provider and model when title generation fails. The changed paths and summary contain no title-generation error handling or test for this behavior.

Resolution

Add title-generation failure handling that exposes the failed provider and model to the user. Add an automated test that verifies these details.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the reviewers still had findings after 3 rounds (the work is on main...fix/issue-27792):

1. [major] packages/provider-core/src/server/usageLimits.ts:68: Worse than main: let changed = revokesCredits combined with codexRateLimitsToUpdate (apps/server/src/provider/codexUsageLimits.ts:185-187) returning {windows: [], continuesOnCredits: false} on every notification whose snapshot has an explicit block signal means a repeated, unchanged rate-limit tick always allocates a new usage-limits object; managedProvider.applyUsageLimits (managedProvider.ts ~248) then sees a changed reference and PubSub-publishes the full ServerProvider snapshot to every client. On origin/main an identical tick yields undefined from codexRateLimitsToUpdate and publishes nothing (the code comment 'Codex repeats unchanged limits on token ticks; avoid allocating snapshots for no-ops' states that intent). Smaller fix: keep the checkedAt re-stamp the probe-race resolution needs in server state, but skip the publish when previous.continuesOnCredits is already false and no window changed (or only re-stamp while a probe is in flight).
   Fails with: A ChatGPT Plus Codex account with no purchased credits: Codex sends account/rateLimits/updated with credits: {hasCredits: false, unlimited: false} and unchanged primary/secondary windows on each token-count tick during a turn. On this head every tick publishes a new Codex provider snapshot over the WebSocket to every connected client (web, desktop, mobile, remote); on main none do. Accounts with spendControlReached or a workspace_* rateLimitReachedType hit it too. Traced from the code; not run, because the worktree had no node_modules. That no-credit accounts send credits on every update is inferred from the generated schema and Codex behaviour, not captured traffic.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
