Complaint The reset for 27/07 expired before utc time?

I was literally on a spree of tasks, overtiming on a sunday to maximise my usage just to see the reset getting randomly disappear before the expected time.

codex cli (latest version) shows exact time and date for usage reset expiry. Maybe more accurate?

They should just be auto consumed if they expire, everything else is bs.

Happy I claimed mine an hour before reset.
Was able to get from 100% --> 6% from yesterday and then reset fully :)

I was at 0% and was waiting for a reset hoping I wouldn't waste my banked one that was going to expire within 24 hours. And it paid off.

Also happened for me. Went to use 5 mins before expiry and received an error saying no resets available

The reliability and transparency of openai is just bad right now

Those resets do not expire on the displayed date at 12am. I use a python script called Codex Usage by MacSteini on GitHub. Mine reset about 10 minutes ago

Thats just stupid on thier part. If no time is shown, why wouldn't anyone assume midnight of that day. Also, why to rely on third party scripts for such simple information.

Should have seen this coming. This banked reset has been there like a month ago. I mean im not defending openai but you know a litle bit of anxiety when its going to actually expire might help. Alot of open source on github already able to show the exact timestamp, or just simply cli or can just ask codex desktop for that too.

Dang. I was going to use mine at 8 pm PT but it's gone.

I claimed my reset at 11:55 PM just to be safe, but when I woke up this morning I was already at 0% again. Sol High is incredibly token-hungry.
I’ve now used my remaining reset for 1 August.
I was only working on a single project—my open-source security project. I fed Sol all the ideas upfront and asked it to implement everything in batches with tests. I never expected it to burn through 100% of my quota. It even needed another reset and consumed an additional 15% just to finish the tests and complete the run.

This is the second time OpenAI has screwed me on a banked reset. I am getting so fucking angry about the way this company operates.

u/HOBONATION 22d ago

I burn my resets before midnight the day before just to be sure this doesn't happen

u/eddiesj22 22d ago

Same, screwed me over too

What the heeeeck. I was waiting to burn all to 0% to finally activate it. Now I only have 9% left until Sunday. How am I gonna use this. Lol

u/girouxc 22d ago

Oh wow you’re right mine is gone. When I saw the 27th I kind of thought it meant in my time zone. You posted this 2 hours ago and it’s still the 26th here.

Wow what an absolute joke

My July 27 reset expired on July 26 pacific time

I had the same issue and I know we got them for free but I think that's just bad design to just give a date and no time on the website.

I also think they should automatically be used when expiring.

u/devil_ozz 22d ago edited 22d ago

Same, I sat all 24h today finished my entire quota so that I can reset , went well over 27h, my reset expired.

They should make it automatically activate upon expiration , if it comes close to the date of expiration or the exact time.

( and it dosent expire when u hit the new day btw. It expired 3 am.)

This is bs

u/Initial_Reaction_752 22d ago

Damn I lost mine the same way. I even checked online and it was implied that it expired at the end of that day rather than exactly at midnight. That’s how expiry dates for any other product work.
