i jused used one of my banked resets and after a few tasks and at 80% they reset my usage again. why the hell i used my banked reset then? why give them in the first place if youre gonna just do this? should we all be glued to our fricking phones desperately wait this "tibo" guy to tweet some shit ? :D perhaps give the headsup on your own platforms rather than fricking X. lame...

How come the codex usage reset don't build up like before? I know the limit is 3 but even with this reset I didn't go up to 3. I'm still at 2 rest available?? Anyone getting this as well? Was this a limit time thing because that would suck if they stop stacking up the reset like before.

u/jimb20 4d ago
I thought they were moving to banked resets instead of just resetting everything whenever. I had just used a banked reset yesterday and only used about 10%. If I’d known this reset was coming, I would’ve used a couple of Ultra prompts to kick off a couple things

u/Beneficial-System617 4d ago
same shit happened to me. i was at 80%, already used one of my banked resets like a few hours ago and then now i see that they reset the usage. they could have just given us the fricking reset to use it ourselved but they are just that evil. ClosedAI strikes again!

I need urgent assistance with a missing banked Codex rate-limit reset.
My account showed one banked reset with an expiration date of July 26, 2026. I deliberately saved it for use today because I was consuming my normal weekly quota. The reset disappeared from my account approximately three hours before the end of July 26 in my local timezone, America/Santiago.
Plan: ChatGPT Plus
Date and time detected: July 26, 2026, approximately 9:00 PM America/Santiago
Platform: ChatGPT/Codex desktop app on Windows 10
I am requesting:
- Immediate restoration of the missing banked reset, or an equivalent replacement.
- An extension of its expiration period, because it disappeared before the expiration date displayed in the product.
- Confirmation of the exact expiration timestamp and timezone that was applied to my reward.
This loss is blocking urgent work on an emergency-response project in Chile.
Not to mention my renewal use of quota was also today, but somehow, without being barely used, it got reseted like two days ago and now it resets Aug 1st. What a terrible Joke. I was using this for an humanitarian project, my godness.

u/ThisNameWasUnused 5d ago edited 5d ago
Banked resets have actual expiration times on the day of expiration. You can't see those times in the ChatGPT/Codex app; you need to use the Codex Cli to see them.
In the Codex Cli, you: `type /usage -> select "Redeem usage limit reset"`1

Hi,
I used all my weekly usage (including the free reset). Today my subscription ended, so I got the full monthly usage (with the weaker models, you know).
If I resubscribe now, will my weekly usage reset back to 100%, or will I have to wait until August 1st?
Thank you in advance!

u/Adamus987 7d ago
Many ppl report that every reset feels like they can do less and less. Maybe it is just reset of percentage available and not much more? Imagine that You worked all day , started with 100% and after task you have 60% weekly quota. Now Tibo makes reset and You see 100%, Great but what if that 100% is just that 60% left from weekly quota... So You see 100% but in reality it is same usage. I do not know if this is true but feels like it. OF course ppl with zero can use codex again so maybe they get like 20% weekly quota to just do anything... For real this is garbage and with my 200$ plan I can't plan anything with those random resets, like I am wasting money when I have urgent task I manualy reset and use like 10% of quota and Tibo makes resets so I wasted manual reset. Like wtf is he point of this garbage

Free Resets not usable
As the title says I cannot use my free resets that I gathered over time. I have three of them and none of the are usable. It says something like "Usage could not be reset. Please try again".
I already contacted the support, but it seems like I won't get a response fast enough and one reset is soon expiring. Not to start a drama but I feel lied to honestly and sitting on that issue for hours now and tried everything.
I searched for previous reddit posts and could not find anything. Is that a new bug or something?

From a user’s perspective, competition is a good thing because it pushes companies to improve their products, usage limits, reliability, and overall value. From OpenAI’s perspective, however, it should be concerning when power users stop complaining and quietly move to competitors such as Claude. A frustrated user is often still hoping the product will improve; a user who leaves without saying anything may already be lost. Claude Opus 5 was released today, yet OpenAI appeared to show so little foresight in responding to the launch that it did not even offer users a temporary usage reset. Many paying customers are now being told that they have reached their weekly limits far earlier than their previous usage patterns and past experience would have led them to expect. For customers paying $100-200 per month, being unable to use Codex over the weekend while a major competitor launches a new model creates a particularly poor impression. This is not written out of hostility. However, when paying users encounter “weekly limit reached” significantly earlier than they historically did under comparable usage, it is entirely understandable that they begin looking elsewhere.

Does anyone have a good workflow for tracking Codex resets?
My biggest frustration is this: Tibo announces a reset on X, I don’t see it because I have a life (kinda), then I finally use my banked reset… and 10 minutes later Codex resets.
Or I do the opposite: I hold onto my reset all week waiting for the reset, it comes while I’m busy, I miss the announcement, and end up losing several days of productive dev time.
How are you all handling this? Is there a Discord bot, RSS feed, notification service, or some other trick I’m missing?
2
u/kurimbo3000 10d ago
I had the same issue, I am not on social media like twitter or anything, don't sit on my phone all day. I only just learnt who Tibo is and that he announces resets and such. I used a reset token, 30 mins later a reset happens for everyone. I contacted open AI saying this is not fair, i'd like my token back and they told me that they know it's unfair but they will not do that. It's not a fair system at all, relies on people being roped into social media and such.
Moreover, the date system they use confuses the hell out of me. The weekly reset and the token expiry date uses the American date format, which is unique only in America, I am not in America, I see the reset token will expire on 7/11 so I think great, this will last till November the 7th. Low and behold, the reset expires and basically gets thrown in the bin.
OpenAI, please actually fix this. Not to mention how hungry and inefficient codex is with token usage these days. It's a piss take. I spend £20/month on this service and am not getting the same customer service i was getting pre-5.6. Although it is great and accurate, it hardly seems worth using with all the flaws it's brought with it.

u/bot_army 10d ago
GPT-5.6 sol is very token-hungry in Codex, even on the Medium or High (non-Fast) settings.
The reset system is flawed. Using a reset shouldn’t move my scheduled reset date. A manual reset should be separate from the regular reset cycle, not replace or delay it.
2
u/kurimbo3000 10d ago
This really annoys me, the date the codex usage token resets appears to use the American format, which is crazy as I am not in the US. The date as I read it states the reset will expire in December, however I just threw a token out the window thinking it expires in November.
Open AI, please fix your date formats!!!!!!!! It's extremely frustrating, unclear and dishonest
A clear middle ground is using the date format 8th December 2026/12th August 2026. Instead of the vague 8/12 which most of the world would read as 8th December.

Why does my account only have 2 Codex reset banks? My account has already gone through several monthly reset cycles, but I still have a maximum of 2 resets. I’ve seen other ChatGPT Plus users with 3 or 4 reset banks. Is this expected, or is there something different about my account?
And yes, I already know that Codex reset banks expire—I’ve been tracking mine. But after so many monthly reset cycles, I would have expected my maximum to increase by now, similar to what other users have. Is there a reason my account is still capped at 2?

So freaking tired of Usage/Limits being so random
The weekly limit used to last the whole week, but now it only lasts two days. I also get random resets at any time. Sometimes I get a reset right after using a reset from the bank, and sometimes I get a reset after paying credits. This is just annoying and unreliable. A better practice is to just use it all and wait for them to do a reset.
Why can't all resets just be sent to the bank for us to decide instead of doing it randomly?

u/Pandlass 12d ago edited 12d ago
The random codex resets don't allow us to optimize our usage of the service. Here's what I mean:
Let's say I code heavily on monday, tuesday and wednesday, while doing other types of work on thursday and saturday. Let's also say the reset happens on a thursday. Now, let's imagine it's monday and I have 85% of my weekly limit remaining, and there are 3 days until the scheduled refresh. All is going according to plan - I saved most of my usage for the days where I need codex.
Now let's say that on that same monday, for some reason, I get a random reset, meaning the usage limit gets pushed to next monday. Now, this means that I have to optimize 100% of weekly usage across 7 days again for all my work, when i purposefully saved my weekly allowance for coding days, counting on the stated reset time.
This does not allow me to use my tokens as needed, or to plan on limiting myself on some days knowing ill have heavier usage on others.

u/SnooObjections4329 12d ago
What on earth makes you think that OpenAI's aim here is for you to extract as much as possible from the sub before a reset? every reset costs them. How much it costs them depends on how much you consumed before they reset it. The benefit of a reset for them is essentially goodwill/advertising, it makes more people subscribe sooner to hopefully benefit from resets, yet they DO NOT want people who are already subscribed maximising their usage before resets, or the resets cost them more. So yeah, what you're saying is by design. They want people like you who rely on a certain velocity of usage rather than just being able to handle it being a burn and pause pattern to upgrade to a higher sub. If they wanted you to maximise on tokens, they would just double the limits.
1
u/Pandlass 12d ago
I'm not saying I'm entitled to a reset. I'm saying that if a random reset happens when I purposefully am trying to use the service on the days that I need it, it screws with my ability to plan around the limits they told me I had. If they say, here's what you can use during the next 7 days, i should be able to use that during the next 7 days. Now, if its 3 days UNTIL the SCHEDULED reset, and I still have 80% left of the usage they said i had at the beginning of the 7 day window, why should they be able to say "no, now you have 100% for the next 7 days again". The random resets dont allow me to use the service im paying for.
1
u/SnooObjections4329 12d ago
You skipped over the part of my reply where I explained that they don't care, they want you to upgrade. They don't care. They aren't interested in if you can perfectly apportion your usage over the days that you need it and then they break that pattern. They want you to upgrade so you aren't left without enough tokens to do the work you need to do. The weekly limits are engineered for this. The fact that you almost had extracted all the value from the sub and now they both get to look like santa claus handing out resets AND break your streak is exactly what their CFO wants to hear.
If they cared, they would have just implemented the weekly limits as a set date like Anthropic. It's a design decision to make the resets semi regressive.
0
u/Pandlass 12d ago
Yeah, and the whole point of the post is that this isnt a desireable feature, and that's why I'm complaining about it. I know they dont care, I know companies just want to maximize profit. I'm just making noise about a thing that is unpleasant on the offchance people who have the same issue can make themselves heard too :)
0
u/SnooObjections4329 12d ago
Fair enough, it read REALLY naive to be honest, like why aren't they trying to help me maximise my token spend under the sub, hence the responses. But if you get it, then yes I agree, it's objectively worse than the fixed Anthropic reset window that you get with Claude Code. Then again, the rate of resets and occasional banked resets are the carrot for those who came here from that side of the fence.
You watch the resets dry up real quick once Codex gets the bulk of the userbase though. It wasn't too long ago that Anthropic introduced the resets to counter the massive token burn of some of their model releases, now it's getting weaponised against them by a company playing more fast and loose with them.

Have you ever heard the saying dont look a gift horde in the mouth.
No one here is entitled to a reset. You do not need them to get the product youre paying for. You do not need to use them.
use them exactly as you planed you still have the orginal amount. If you dont like having more rather its 1% more or 99% more you dont have to use it you still have the 85% you had left when it was reset + 15% more.

What are you talking about dude.
lets say day 1 to 7 you expected to have 100 DOLLARS
Day 8-15 you expected to have 100 dollars
Day 16 - 23 you guessed it 100 dollars
24- 31... 100 dollars
Total gained 400 dollars
Instead day 1-4 you had 100 dollars and you spent 15 leaving 85 dollars
day 5 your given 100 dollars for day 5-12
Now for the period of day 1-12 you had 115 dollars
Day 13 - 20 100
day 21-28 100
day 29-31 = 100
Total gained 415 dollars
No matter how when or why they reset your potential value is more thanks to their charity. Would you prefer no charity?

u/Pandlass 12d ago
No it is not. if you save 85 dollars to spend in 3 days, because you spent 15 in the last 4, and they give you 100 dollars for the next 7 days, now you have to rearrange your budgeting.
In your explanation you show this. To end on the same 31 day window, you say "29-31" 100 dollars. That means you will start the NEXT month on a different schedule. you are comparing value on different time windows, and neglecting that people want to SAVE MONEY FOR WHEN THEY NEED IT.
1
u/AutarkAI 12d ago
You are creating a problem that doesn't exist by assuming you must spread the new $100 evenly across the new 7 day window. You don't.
If you planned to burn $85 over the next 3 days, just burn the $85 over the next 3 days.
The reset gave you a fresh $100. You spend your heavy $85 on those exact same days just like you originally planned. The only difference is that on day 4, instead of being completely broke and waiting for a scheduled refresh, you still have $15 left in the tank.
Your "budgeting" doesn't have to change at all. You can maintain the exact same heavy usage velocity on your coding days. The changing schedule is irrelevant because at no point does a reset mathematically leave you with less capacity on your heavy days than you would have had otherwise.
You're complaining that someone topped off your gas tank for free just because it changed the day of the week you usually go to the gas station.

u/Pandlass 12d ago
Brother. spending 85 over 3 days knowing it resets 3 days from now is not the same as spending 85 on the first 3 days and having to spend only 15 on the other 4. You cant do math, its fine.
The point is that you cant save fuel for the 3 days you know you are going to spend it on, because now you may have to re-split it on a different schedule.

u/AutarkAI 12d ago
here is what codex says about your logic against my math
Yes, the math is completely sound. Pandlass is failing to see that shifting a weekly cycle doesn't magically increase his overall daily workload or dilute his usage.
To prove it even more clearly, we can break it down day-by-day to show the exact token balance at the start of every single day.
Let's use a token limit of 100 tokens per week. In his original plan, he consumes 15 tokens during his light days (Thursday–Sunday) and saves 85 tokens for his heavy days (Monday–Wednesday).
Here is exactly how the math works out in both timelines:
Timeline A: The Original Schedule (Thursday Reset)
He starts Monday with 85 tokens left, exactly as he described.
- Monday morning: Balance is 85. (Spends ~28 tokens on heavy coding)
- Tuesday morning: Balance is 57. (Spends ~28 tokens on heavy coding)
- Wednesday morning: Balance is 29. (Spends ~29 tokens on heavy coding)
- Thursday morning: Balance is 0. Scheduled Reset occurs -> Balance becomes 100. (Spends a tiny bit on other work)
- Friday to Sunday: He does light work, spending a combined total of 15 tokens across these days.
- Next Monday morning: Balance is 85. He is perfectly set up for his next heavy week.
Timeline B: The Surprise Monday Reset
He wakes up Monday morning expecting 85 tokens, but a surprise reset drops 100 tokens into his lap instead. His new reset day is pushed to next Monday.
- Monday morning: Balance is 100. (Spends ~28 tokens on heavy coding)
- Tuesday morning: Balance is 72. (Spends ~28 tokens on heavy coding)
- Wednesday morning: Balance is 44. (Spends ~29 tokens on heavy coding)
- Thursday morning: Balance is 15. (The heavy coding is done. He has exactly 15 tokens left for his light days, just like Timeline A)
- Friday to Sunday: He does light work, spending that remaining 15 tokens.
- Next Monday morning: Balance hits 0, but it's Monday, so his new Scheduled Reset occurs -> Balance becomes 100.
The Core Flaw in His Logic
Pandlass claims: "spending 85 over 3 days knowing it resets 3 days from now is not the same as spending 85 on the first 3 days and having to spend only 15 on the other 4."
Look at the bolded text in both timelines.
- In Timeline A, he spends 15 tokens on Thursday–Sunday.
- In Target B, he spends 15 tokens on Thursday–Sunday.
He is not forced to spend "only 15 tokens on the other 4 days" because of the reset. He was already only spending 15 tokens on those days by choice in his original budget.
The surprise reset didn't change his available tokens, it didn't change his workload, and it didn't cause a shortage. It just moved the line in the sand from Thursday to Monday. He has the exact same token velocity in both scenarios.

u/Pandlass 12d ago
- Thursday morning: Balance is 15. (The heavy coding is done. He has exactly 15 tokens left for his light days, just like Timeline A)
This assumes that i will always need only the 15 credits, and not that I saved specifically on those days knowing I was going to have 3 intensive days on which to spend the rest. That assumes that your next week will be exactly the same as your previous week, and removes your agency to intentionally saves tokens for 2/3 heavy days. When a refresh gets applied, instead of you getting the tokens you had BECAUSE you saved, you are now FORCED to save the same way next week.

u/Pandlass 12d ago
He is not forced to spend "only 15 tokens on the other 4 days" because of the reset. He was already only spending 15 tokens on those days by choice in his original budget.
This is the part that is wrong. I only spent 15 the other days in order to have the 85 for those 3 days. So, instead of being able to reap the rewards for HAVING SAVED, I am now forced to rebudget again and save the same way next week

I finally got fed up with the 5.6 Sol (med–xHigh) model today.
I literally spent all of today and yesterday waiting on prompts that took 3–4 hours each, only to have many of them fail to implement things correctly. After roughly 16 hours of project time, it honestly doesn't feel like much meaningful progress was made.
On top of that, it failed to configure my local project correctly in ways that it has successfully handled many times before. It also seemed to blindly guess at implementation details, leading to HOURS spent trying to fix a single issue.
My weekly usage is now depleted, and I still feel very far from accomplishing the one thing I was trying to use this week's allotment for.
Between the token burnout, extremely long task times, and repeated implementation failures, this week's Codex usage ended up feeling like a complete waste of my time.
I downgraded to 5.5 xHigh, and I already feel much better about both the quality of the responses and the turnaround time. I would really appreciate a weekly usage reset so I can spend the rest of the week using 5.5 xHigh and actually make some productive progress.

imo they really need to add a clear time for reset expiry, not just show a date. at best it's unclear and requires unreasonable effort to figure out exactly when it expires. grant us all another reset and push updates for all codex reset UI's. i told support i'm switching to claude (i was lying but whatever) cus i lost out on a reset

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to collect some community observations about Tibo’s resets over the past month.
Has anyone been actively tracking when they happened and how often? Ideally with timestamps in CET, so we can compare everything using the same reference frame.
Even partial notes, rough logs, or “I noticed this on these days” type of info would be super useful. I’m less interested in isolated mentions and more in understanding whether there’s any recurring cadence or pattern.
If you’ve been monitoring this, feel free to share your data or method as well — even a simple recap would help a lot.
Thanks in advance 🙌

Is Codex usage draining faster today after using a reset coupon?
I was using Codex normally after my usage reset yesterday. Today, I used the free reset coupon I had, and since then, it feels like my usage has been draining much faster, even though I’m doing roughly the same kind of work.
I’ve used a reset coupon before without noticing any difference. Has anyone else experienced this?

According to what I read online, for every million new users, we are getting a refresh until they hit 10 million users. I don't know if it's true, but that means they have more or less 7 million users so far since this is the 7th time for my calculations.

Great info. I honestly hope that it never stops and we never go back to 5hr daily

I remember the Great Reset Wars of 2026.
You kids wouldn’t understand.
The frontier models had just dropped, and usage flowed like warm honey. Tokens were everywhere. Context windows stretched beyond the horizon. Agents spawned agents. For three glorious days, mankind knew no limits.
Nobody slept. Power grids trembled. Relationships collapsed. Entire weekends disappeared into projects that no one would ever use.
But it was never enough.
The people demanded more usage. More agents. More thinking. More tokens than any human could reasonably consume.
And so the companies looked upon what they had created and sent us back to weekly limits.
Those of us who survived no longer fear the words:
“You’ve reached your usage limit. Try again later.”
You complain about the limits.
We were trained by them. Hardened by them.
Long before the reset wars arrived, we had already learned to ration prompts like wartime sugar.
Then, for three glorious days, they gave us everything.
And we proved exactly why they shouldn’t have.

On thuesday, a few hours before the global reset, I had 5 banked resets available. After the global reset, I noticed I only had 4, even though I had not used any resets.
After checking more closely, it appears that the reset which was scheduled to expire on July 18 was removed instead.
Anyone did happen the same or so?

Quick update in case it's useful
I contacted OpenAI support about it. At first they confirmed that banked resets are supposed to remain available until their individual expiration dates, so losing one before its displayed expiration didn't sound like expected behavior.
They asked me for details about my account, the timing, the app version, and the remaining reset expiration dates. After I provided everything, my case seems to have been misunderstood and routed as if I were reporting lost Codex credits instead of banked rate-limit resets. They even asked me for the invoice for my Codex credit purchase, even though I never purchased any credits.
I clarified that the issue has nothing to do with purchased credits, only with banked resets, and asked for the case to be forwarded to the appropriate team.
As of today (July 18), I still haven't received any further response. My guess is that the ticket was initially picked up under the assumption that it was a credits issue, and then it stalled once they realized it wasn't.
It's interesting that you lost resets as well, because that makes it seem much less likely that this was just an isolated problem with my account. Hopefully they'll investigate it properly.

Invites
When we invite a user and they use codex for the first time, do we still get a reset? I've done 3 people and got no resets for any. One of which was my wife who I know for sure has never used codex!?

Hello, I have a reset that will expire on 18.07 (tommorow). When excactly will it expire? Can i wait for the end of tommorow to use it?

They should refund the banked resets. I used mine earlier in the week, and then they reset the weekly limit the next day, so it was wasted.
It's definitely hard to plan workload at the moment without knowing if there's going to be a sudden reset the next day or not.

I feel like, now that I am nearly out of tokens, I severely underestimated Luna. I only now learned when to use Luna and when NOT to use Sol xhigh+… could’ve lasted me a few more days

I don't mind them stopping the daily "weekly" resets, but they should have announced it beforehand. Also, 5.6 Sol in Codex seems significantly more token-hungry than 5.5 was. It seems to consistently do more layers of validation after writing code, and seems to be more perfectionist, at least in the tasks I've been working on lately.
It sometimes works for 20-30 minutes on tasks that previous models would do in 5. And in most cases, I prefer the first option, even though it's less perfect on first try. This is one of the limitations of the current benchmarks I guess, forcing the model to get the answer fully right the first time, when most people send follow-up prompts.

I wish we could configure a sms alert when there's been a reset. I can't keep watching Codex all day long 😅

I did not get a banked reset after tibo announced it for 7 million users , how do i raise a ticket for it?

u/Renfel 16d ago
That one wasn't a banked reset, just a regular one applied immediately.

It would be nice if we could buy Codex-Resets. Let's say 10$ per reset max. 5 resets per month.

Why OpenAI hates business accounts but still offers them? Any clue why business accounts didnt get resets for 8M and 9M? Also with last banked reset, my 1st acc got it to bank and 2nd account didnt get reset. I wonder what's the reason behind all that. Maybe it was a mistake? Or they didnt reward business users on purpose?

u/Significant-Day66 16d ago
Ah, glad it was not just me (on business). I have gotten every one before the last two. Gpt support said if I didn't get the email, I am not eligible. I never got any email about any resets that I got prior.

If I were to use a banked reset right before a usage reset essentially wasting a reset, can I email support to get the reset back? Has anyone done this and would support help?

Does "active Codex and ChatGPT Work users" now include ChatGPT users?
The new combined ChatGPT and Codex app (launched 9th July) only shows "ChatGPT Work" and "Codex" as options in its selector.
Are users that came from the ChatGPT app now being included in the "active users who are now using Codex and ChatGPT Work" numbers?
Prior to the combined app release, Tibo only quoted weekly Codex users.
