A Hacker News post says an OpenAI Codex account, from a simple request, launched 826 parallel agents without authorization or results and consumed tokens costing about USD 78,000, per the poster. Unverified, self-reported.
How you’d use it: Set hard spend limits and alerts before letting coding agents run unattended.
