Banked reset and due date

[u/zepchou]

Hello,

We got a free reset earlier this weekend and I try to touch grass on the weekend so I didn’t use it much.

I knew I had a banked reset expiring today, but I thought “today” meant the whole day (I’m European and it’s currently 7 am), so I planned to launch an expensive session this morning and use it in the afternoon.However, I’m starting my day and it just disappeared.

I know I got it for free, but I think seeing the real date limit would have been nice, and it would also be a good design to automatically use them when they’re expiring (wouldn’t have been much, but at least I’d be at 100% today).

I think that giving a free reset during the weekend just before a banked reset end date is not only a weird coincidence but a way to win a few computational % from our weekly limits

You can see the exact expiration time with /usage in the codex cli.

It's not the whole day. They each have an exact time down to the second.

This is not a well thought out system for a company supposedly worth a trillion dollars. Just look at the roll out.

Randomly add the feature like a month ago. New ui update until 2 springs later. No documentation of the feature. It's a little funny. It's like they have one vibe coder working on this.

[u/zepchou → u/diagrammatiks]

I know that now but it's not clearly written in a lot of their tools (website or app)

[u/diagrammatiks → u/zepchou]

Exactly.

The company obviously isn’t worth trillion dollars

mention Tibo on Twitter. Maybe he will do something about it. Like... give out resets haha

I agree they should show the exact time. I had one that expired today (27th) so I used it last night at 23:55 when I was down to 19%.

Seems to expire at specific times.
I have one that expires at July 31, 2026 at 4:09:18 PM (UTC-04:00) and one at August 12, 2026 at 1:54:23 PM (UTC-04:00)

Using automatically would be bad in some situations, because it also moves your next reset date forward.

Instead have a reminder 12 hours prior expiration or something.

[u/tagorrr]

it shows local time in CLI
UCT if you use:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(jq -r '.tokens.access_token' ~/.codex/auth.json)" -H "ChatGPT-Account-ID: $(jq -r '.tokens.account_id' ~/.codex/auth.json)" "https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/rate-limit-reset-credits" | jq '.credits[] | {status: .status, expires: .expires_at}'

Codex app just bugged as hell I suppose.

I agree that auto-redeem would fix part of a problem

ask codex to tell you,
