Authentication and account pool
What are you trying to accomplish?
Understand the effective Codex account-pool routing policy from the normal Providers view, including the configured usage-switch threshold.
For example, when the rotation strategy is Quota and the threshold is 80%, the visible summary should communicate both values.
What prevents this today?
The account-pool card visibly shows Rotation strategy: Quota, but the configured threshold is only available inside the collapsed Advanced settings section.
The threshold materially changes routing: it determines when an account is treated as drained for proactive switching and when an existing task may be rebound. Without the numeric value in the normal view, the visible priority list and strategy do not fully explain why a different account was selected.
Quota-bar styling can hint that a threshold exists, but it does not state the configured value or whether proactive switching is disabled.
What should OpenCodex do?
Show a compact, read-only summary of the configured threshold beside the visible rotation strategy. Keep the existing control for editing the value under Advanced settings.
Suggested states:
Quota · switch at 80%
Fill-first · drain at 80%
Round-robin · threshold not used
Quota · proactive switching off
The exact wording can follow the semantics of each strategy, but the effective configured value should be visible without expanding Advanced settings.
Example usage or interface
Current:
Rotation strategy Quota
Advanced settings (collapsed)
Suggested:
Rotation strategy Quota · switch at 80%
Advanced settings (edit)
Alternatives or workarounds
Expand Advanced settings whenever the value needs to be checked, or inspect it with ocx account current openai --json or the account auto-switch status command. Neither workaround exposes the effective threshold in the normal Providers view where routing decisions are being interpreted.
Additional context
This is separate from #806, which discussed strategy semantics and wording, and #4521, which reports manual selection of an account that the active threshold immediately rejects.
Observed in 2.53.0 and still present on the current development branch at the time of filing.
