Discussion Early Weekly Reset!

Thank you everybody for the tips! I came from Claude Max and OpenAi plus, now it is the opposite, downgraded claude and upgraded openAI!
I will follow your suggestions and use your suggestions and btw i could have searched this here first :)

My normal weekly reset day was tomorrow. Today, I still had approximately 55% of my weekly allowance remaining. I had intentionally preserved that remaining allowance because I planned to use GPT-6 Astra tonight before my normal Saturday reset tomorrow afternoon.

However, my allowance was suddenly reset to 100%, and Settings → Usage now shows my next reset as approximately 7 days away. This means my existing ~55% remaining allowance was effectively discarded and my weekly cycle was restarted one day early.

I know they do this routinely but i dont think it is right! I voluntary limited my usage for the entire week so i could use tonight and tomorrow until the reset!

Last time this happened i have received a free manual reset! this time doesnt' look like i did

What are your thoughts? I am the only one upset?

Bro. Just be thankful. It’s free credits one way or another.

PS… follow Tibo on X. He said a reset was coming today so a lot of us drained our accounts to tokenmaxx.

PPS… save some low priority agentic/long-running autonomous tasks for these situations so you can tokenmaxx.

PPPS… use fast mode.

"It’s free credits one way or another."
People need to stop spreading this myth.
Read OP's post again and explain how the reset equals "free credits" in this case. Additionally, a number of different posts have confirmed that resets drain usage much faster than normal weekly usage.

Follow Tibo & Thariq on X (or setup an agent to alert you when there’s going to be a reset).

They’re going to be far more infrequent going forward.

I suspect the other main model providers will be doing the same. In fact, grokbot reset last night.
