fix(codex): ignore empty rate-limit buckets

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - LINE: stop cron recovery from inferring lowercased LINE recipients from canonical session keys, so long-running task replies do not silently retry undeliverable push targets. Fixes #81628. (#81704) Thanks @edenfunf.
 - TTS: preserve channel-derived voice-note delivery for `/tts audio` replies even when the provider output is not natively voice-compatible. (#82174) Thanks @xuruiray.
 - Codex app-server: preserve inbound sender metadata and source-channel provenance on mirrored user prompts, including failure snapshots, so channel history keeps the original sender identity. (#82184) Thanks @zknicker.
+- Codex account/status: treat metadata-only rate-limit buckets as returned but empty so `/codex status` and `/codex account` report `none returned` instead of counting phantom limits.
 - Codex/Lossless: keep Codex explicit compaction on native app-server threads while allowing Lossless through the context-engine slot; `openclaw doctor --fix` now migrates legacy `compaction.provider: "lossless-claw"` config to `plugins.slots.contextEngine`.
 - Cron/doctor: report scheduled jobs with explicit `payload.model` overrides, including provider namespace counts and default-model mismatches, so stale cron model pins are visible during auth or billing investigations. Fixes #82151. Thanks @mgonto.
 - Codex app-server: keep the short turn-completion idle watchdog armed after the last non-assistant current-turn item completes, so a quiet Codex app-server releases the OpenClaw session lane before the outer attempt timeout. Fixes #82171. (#82172) Thanks @funmerlin.
