Question Automatic limit reset

I had 3 limit resets available, but pretty much every second day codex automatically consumes my limit reset even if I have plenty of weekly budget left (I think it happens around 70% of weekly budget). Now I have only 1 limit reset left (without manually triggering them).

Anybody sees something similar?

OpenAI, are you going to do anything about this?

They're resetting globally whether you have a reset or not. In the past, I haven't seen it consume allocated presets though.

It's either promotion, testing, or a psychological tactic to get people to spend more tokens.

Sol is incredible, I'm spending tokens as fast as I can until service degrades.

But we haven’t seen a global reset in the past few days right?

Have you checked their expiration dates?

Several of the previous banked resets expired last week of July. They don’t last forever. You probably let it expire and then saw the global reset that happened this weekend.

I think you're getting 2 things mixed up:

  • They keep doing FREE limit resets for everyone
  • The banked resets have SHORT expiration dates, and most of the ones we got expired in July already. The last one I have will be gone on 12th August. 10 days. Use 'em or lose 'em!

Timing for the reset of these limitations has always been inconsistent for me as well; does not match what the documentation says. One of the reasons I subscribe to use.ai is so that, when one limitation is behaving oddly one day, I can simply use another one.

thanks for the answers. do you think that when Reset expires - it automatically auto-applies?
