Allow re-authentication or API key entry after reaching plan limits

[dpolivaev]

What feature would you like to see?

When the CLI session reaches plan limits (e.g. 5-hour or 7-day cap), it should not terminate completely. Instead, it should allow:

• Entering a new API key, or
• Logging in with a different account, without losing the current session context.

The /logout command should also not act like quit. Instead, it should return to a state where I can provide new credentials and continue in the same session.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

No response

Additional information

Currently, hitting plan limits stops the CLI entirely, leaving code edits unfinished.
This is disruptive, especially when Codex has partially modified code and the process stops mid-flow, leaving files inconsistent.
Supporting credential re-entry within the same session would make the tool more resilient and usable in real workflows.

Not re-entry but stored refresh tokens that could be rotated on demand.
id and refresh tokens are already stored in the auth.json file

If OpenAI implements seamless continue with another account, it can sell more Plus accounts for users that require more usage, but did not want (yet) spend $200 on pro plan.

great for marketing, imho
