Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about Codex and ChatGPT Work usage limits and resets.

What is the reset likelihood and how is it calculated?

It is a statistical reference forecast indicating the likelihood of an upcoming reset. An empirical baseline derived from historical cadence is dynamically calibrated using official notices, OpenAI Status incident logs, and community signals. It is not an official probability from OpenAI.

What is the difference between regular cycles and special resets?

Regular resets follow scheduled periodic refreshes. Special or compensation resets (often called wabi-resets or celebration resets) are unscheduled events executed by OpenAI following service outages, capacity issues, or milestone events.

Does a Codex reset also affect ChatGPT Work?

Yes. On eligible plans, Codex and ChatGPT Work share the same agentic usage and credits pool. A reset affecting that shared pool restores limits for both Codex and ChatGPT Work, though applicability may vary depending on plan specifics.

How are reset teaser posts reflected in the forecast?

Teaser posts are analyzed separately from official notices. When terms like tomorrow, tonight, weekdays, or specific hours are resolved, the forecast weighs the hinted window overlap and hint strength against the 24h and 48h windows. Unresolvable hints decay gradually over time.

When should I use a Banked Reset (Manual Reset)?

A Banked Reset allows you to manually refresh your usage limits on demand. It is best used strategically: when reset likelihood is low and immediate progress is essential, use your Banked Reset; when likelihood is high or an official notice is imminent, consider waiting for a potential global reset.

How to read the forecast and observed signals

The 24-hour and 48-hour values are unofficial statistical estimates based on past random-reset intervals and current observed signals. They are not probabilities published by OpenAI or a confirmed reset schedule.

We keep official notices, hints from Tibo and other people involved in development, public signals such as OpenAI Status, and resets confirmed as having happened distinct. Confirmed reset history is accumulated and compared with current conditions.
