How Codex usage limits affect long coding sessions

Codex writes local rate-limit snapshots into its session records. That makes it possible to see approaching headroom before the tool emits a hard limit message.

Use the signal conservatively

keepitmovin reads the local percentage and can move on at a configured threshold. It fails soft if the file is absent or its format changes, while terminal limit detection remains available.

Prepare more than changed files

A useful fallback also records why the changes were made, what tests ran, what is still uncertain, and what the next tool should do first.

Watch without handing over control

Loop, burn-rate, and streaming-stall signals are warnings. They do not automatically switch tools; false-positive automation is worse than a visible warning.
