Codex Reset FAQ
A short guide to Codex usage limits resets, reset timing, Banked Resets, and forecast changes.
Check the latest reset card and recent reset history on the top page. If a reset was confirmed today, it should appear as a recent reset event. If there is only a forecast, treat it as an estimate rather than a confirmed reset.
OpenAI does not always publish an exact reset time. This site shows official notices and estimates whether a usage-limits reset looks likely within the next 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours.
A Codex reset usually restores or refreshes usage limits such as weekly limits or shorter usage windows. Some resets follow a regular cycle, while others may happen after incidents, capacity issues, or special events.
A Banked Reset is an account-specific reset available in your account. Using it refreshes the applicable usage limit. The resulting usage window and reset date may differ by account.
It means the Codex usage allowance or rate-limit window is refreshed. People may search for it as a token reset, limit reset, usage reset, or rate reset; this site groups those searches around Codex usage-limit recovery.
The forecast starts with a baseline derived from past reset intervals and is adjusted as official notices, OpenAI Status incidents, capacity or rate-limit signals, community reports, and current timing change. The percentage is not guaranteed and may move up or down.
It tracks Codex usage-limits reset notices, reset history, and random reset probability based on public information, community activity, and OpenAI Status updates.
It is a statistical reference forecast. A baseline derived from past reset intervals is adjusted using official notices, Status incident logs, community reports, and other current signals. It is not an official probability.
If there is an official notice, that takes priority. If there is no notice, this site shows the current estimate based on recent history and OpenAI Status activity.
People often use those terms loosely when searching. This site focuses on resets that restore or affect Codex usage limits.
A reset executed as compensation for incidents or issues. It may restore usage limits or grant additional Banked Resets to affected plans.
A special reset executed to celebrate milestones like user count achievements or product anniversaries.
A Hard Reset (Forced Reset) is a global, administrative reset executed by OpenAI for all users simultaneously. A Banked Reset (Manual Reset) is an account-specific reset that you can manually trigger whenever you choose.
Official notices are announcements by OpenAI or members of the Codex team (such as Tibo). Community signals are gathered from user reports and circumstantial evidence.
They are generally different concepts. While a local context reset affects session state, a usage-limit reset restores the usage allowance. However, they may occasionally overlap if context-related updates trigger a compensation reset.
While CLI issues affecting Codex usage limits or status updates are relevant, local CLI settings initialization or environment resets are outside the scope of this site.
It refers to confirmed past reset history, official developer notices, OpenAI Status API, and public community reports.
Using a Banked Reset refreshes the applicable usage limit. The resulting usage window and reset date may differ by account.
