Run my Dot around the clock with sub-agents on my projects

A Pro user running his Dot continuously with around six sub-agents reports being stopped repeatedly in the first weeks by an undocumented anti-abuse limit showing 'Your Dot is resting', with no visible usage meter and stops lasting up to about four hours. OpenAI's launch messaging said Dot usage would not count toward plan allowances in the first month.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Run the Dot continuously with about six sub-agents
  2. Hit an undocumented 'Your Dot is resting' stop in week one
  3. Get stopped again about 20 hours after recovery
  4. No meter or reset time shown

Why it’s worth knowing

A power user hit a hidden ceiling twice in a week on a product sold as not counting toward allowances.
