Burning chat vs codex quota for writing

I'm currently using VScode to write.

I have PDF extraction pipelines, a full LLM Wiki, side-door access to the sql database created by qualcoder to access my coding of articles, cold generation sandboxes for audibility, a fairly heavy branching path agent.md setup keyed to task type, structured archiving of all work...the whole stack to try and support writing. Yes, there is a bit of coding involved...but mostly I'm burning codex quota to do chat work.

Is there any way to get VSCode to burn down my chat rather than coding quota?
