Users hit Codex rate limits when running Hermes Agent
People using Codex inside Hermes Agent are running into rate limiting — the service cutting off requests after a certain number. This is especially noticeable when running automated or repeated tasks. No fix yet, but knowing about it helps you plan your usage.
Codex is an AI tool from OpenAI that writes and edits code automatically. When paired with Hermes Agent, it can handle coding tasks without manual input. The problem is that Codex enforces rate limiting, meaning it stops accepting requests once you've sent too many in a short window.
This hits hardest when you run automated pipelines that fire off many requests back-to-back. The practical workaround is to add pauses between requests, reduce how often you call Codex, or check if a higher OpenAI usage plan raises your limit.
