Codex error
“Rate limit exceeded. Please retry after a short wait.”
What it means
Different from the usage limit: this is a per-minute throttle, not your quota. It clears in seconds to minutes.
When it resets
Within a minute. Your 5-hour and weekly bars are unaffected.
What to do now
- Wait 30–60 seconds and retry.
- Avoid firing many parallel agents at once.
