Codex

Burnrate reads Codex Pro/Max plan info and rate-limit buckets (5-hour and weekly windows, including Spark buckets where present) directly from the Codex app server over stdio — the same data the Codex UI shows.

Requirements

• The codex CLI installed and signed in.

Accounts are auto-detected from CODEX_HOME / ~/.codex. The account email comes from the local auth.json identity token.

Multiple accounts

Additional accounts sign in from Preferences → Add account → Sign in with browser. Burnrate runs codex login under an isolated per-account CODEX_HOME, so secondary accounts never disturb your terminal session in ~/.codex.

Notes

• If the codex binary lives somewhere unusual, set BURNRATE_CODEX_BIN.
• Inherited credential env vars (e.g. OPENAI_API_KEY) are stripped from spawned CLIs so they can't shadow the signed-in account.
