Duplicate Codex accounts warning: what it means

If you see “Duplicate Accounts Detected,” CodexUse found multiple profiles tied to the same Codex account ID. It is a heads-up that rate limits are shared, not a blocker.

Why the warning appears

• CodexUse reads the account ID returned during login. When two profiles share that ID, it flags them.
• Team or business seats can return the same ID across seats, so the warning can show even if profile names differ.
• Rate-limit radar treats those profiles as one pool. Switching between them will not increase the available quota.

What you can do

• If the profiles are truly the same account, keep one profile and delete the duplicate.
• If they are different seats in the same workspace, you can keep them. Just know the limits are shared, so switching is mostly for separation, not extra headroom.
• Give each profile a clear name (for example, “Workspace seat A” and “Workspace seat B”) so you know which is active in the tray.

How to dismiss the notice

• Click the close icon on the warning. CodexUse saves that dismissal locally.
• The notice returns if the set of duplicates changes, so you can keep track when new overlaps appear.

Other signals that rely on account IDs

• Rate-limit radar shows usage per account ID. Duplicates will share the same bar.
• Auto-roll still works but switches within the duplicate pool, so it cannot escape a shared limit.
• Chat history and profile switching continue to function. The warning does not block actions.
