newest first BANKED 2026-09-09 2026-09-09
There was a bit of a kerfuffle this morning with some banked resets not fully applying when used in ChatGPT Work and Codex. Everyone who used one in the affected time window is getting another one and an email to apologize.

All reset for everyone. Enjoy the week with Astra.

Because we are beyond happy to have Astra rolled out today ahead of schedule and you have been super patient with us (not really, but it’s ok!)… we will do the full banked reset today too for all Plus, Pro and Business users. Lands end of day. Happy Astra day and enjoy a phenomenal weekend. PS: If you create the account or upgrade before 8pm PT you will get it too. Still time!

We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. Team is moving mountains to give access as fast as we can. First one will land in ~ 3 hours. There is still time to create your account if you don't have one.

What I wanted to say yesterday is that we hit 25M active users and to celebrate we have now reset usage for all paid subscriptions for ChatGPT Work and Codex. See you see for more news from The Reset Company.

We are reseting usage for all paid users of Codex and ChatGPT Work. Please continue reading for an update on Codex usage limits. The team has been working around the clock, going through thousands of reports and shipping fixes. Depending on how you use Codex, you should see your usage go between 10% and 50% further than before. We really went with a fine comb, with many uncovered small things being longstanding and here is what we found and fixed: - Compaction. We were keeping old images during compaction, sometimes making the context large enough to trigger compaction again. After the fix, usage dropped around 10% for users making heavy use of images. Fixed. - Memory. Background memory workers could inherit Stop hooks and keep running when the hook wouldn’t let them finish. This affected fewer than 1% of users, with the long tail being pretty bad and we saw one example thread check whether it could stop 15,000 times. Fixed. - Goals. In some cases, a set /goal could finish and then keep going past the intended stop condition, or the model would keep retrying broken tools without stopping. We saw examples consume anywhere from 15% to 70% of a weekly allowance. Fixed. - Automations. Some custom schedules could run more frequently than configured. Fixed. - Subagents. Smaller models (e.g. Luna) sometimes picked more capable helpers without being explicitly asked. The same was true where the orchestrating model not running in /fast mode could request sub-agents to run /fast. Fixed. - Computer History. The older implementation could lead to repeatedly summarizing overlapping activity. For some cases we saw it consume up to one fifth of the weekly usage per week. Fixed. - Rolling task summaries. Ordinary turns were triggering extra background requests. These added about 1% to token usage. Small each time, but it adds up. We have disabled this. - MCP. Some tool results could be encoded twice. We also found tool instructions getting cut off and fetched again. Fixed. We’ve also made architectural changes to prevent these from regressing and our teams will get paged if it happens regardless. We are also working on showing you directly in the app where your usage goes so you don’t have to guess. Goes without saying that we’re resetting usage limits and I hope you enjoy a very nice Saturday!

// FAQ
01 When does the Codex 5-hour window reset?
The window opens the moment you send your first message and resets 5 hours later. It is not pinned to the clock and is not synced across users — every account has a different start point depending on when you began.
02 Does the weekly allowance reset on my billing date?
No. The weekly window starts from your first request after the previous reset and resets automatically 7 days later, independent of your billing date. Many people assume renewing clears it — it does not. This is a recurring point of confusion in official issues.
03 Is the 5-hour limit the same on Plus and Pro?
No. Plus is constrained by both the 5-hour window and the weekly allowance; Pro ($100 / $200) had the 5-hour gate removed in August 2026, leaving only the weekly allowance. Business / Enterprise defaults to roughly Plus-level per seat.
04 What is a banked reset?
A saved reset credit issued by OpenAI. It does not refill immediately — you redeem it yourself in the Codex app. Redeeming resets both the 5-hour and the weekly window. Credits expire 30 days after they are granted.
05 Is a paid instant reset extra allowance?
No. Plus / Pro can buy an instant reset from Usage settings, but it pulls your next period's allowance forward rather than adding a separate entitlement on top.
06 How do I check what I have left?
Type /status in the Codex CLI to see remaining usage; /usage shows earned reset credits and their expiry. On desktop, click your avatar in the sidebar → Usage to see both windows.
