Proposed fix: [Codex CLI] 'Quota exceeded. Check your plan and billing details.' — API-key org/project out of credits or over spend limit (insufficient_quota and 4 other codes collapsed)
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Check the org/project billing, credit balance and project spend limits for the key; raise limits or add credits.
Option: Check the org/project billing, credit balance and project spend limits for the key; raise limits or add credits. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Running codex with an OpenAI API key
Steps:
1. Check org credit balance for the key's org
2. Check project-level spend limits too
3. Retry after adding credits or raising the limit
Expected: The error no longer appears.
