You can't use an API key on subscriptions, but I've gotten around it using the `codex exec` command to run requests outside the CLI or GUI if you're already authenticated on that machine. Won't work for all cases, but I've never ran into a limitation in my use case of not having an API key.

I’ll look into this. But there is no universal solution. I find this to be quite limiting. I understand this is on purpose. If you want to automate, you need to pay more to have an api key.

It’s a good thing we have access to those very cheap and useful Chinese models.
