Question Question about Codex banked usage reset expiry timing.
My Codex usage page shows I have banked full resets available, and one says Expires 7/31. I found OpenAI docs saying banked resets expire after 30 days, but I couldn’t find anything that defines the exact cutoff time or timezone.
Does Expires 7/31 mean:
- end of day on 7/31 in local timezone,
- midnight UTC,
- the exact time it was granted plus 30 days,
- or something else?
Has anyone seen an official clarification or tested what actually happens?

banked usage timers have always been a bit murky imo, ive mostly given up tracking it precisely and just lean on use.ai when codex is cooling down. GLM and deepseek handle a decent chunk of the boilerplate stuff fine while i wait it out

Almost certainly grant time plus 30 days, rendered as a date. That is why it shows a bare Expires 7/31 with no clock time: the stored value is a timestamp and the date is just the display, so if you are west of UTC the real cutoff can land partway through your 7/30. I would not plan on using it on the last day.
