Last updated: 2026-10-31

Today and timing

Did Codex reset today?

The tracker compares the latest verified public event with today in UTC. “No” means no matching event is recorded, not that your own allowance could not refresh. Check the codex reset tracker.

When is the next Codex reset?

There is no guaranteed public reset appointment. The outlook estimates a possible event over the next 24 or 48 hours; your personal timer is in your signed-in Usage view. See the next-reset outlook.

How often do you get usage resets in Codex?

Regular refreshes depend on your plan and account windows. Extra promotional resets have no guaranteed frequency. The public-history cadence describes recorded events, not how often your account receives an entitlement. Compare the types of frequency.

When does the Codex weekly limit reset?

Read the next refresh shown in your account. Do not assume Monday or midnight: resets can affect the schedule, and a weekly allowance can differ from a shorter window. Find your weekly reset time.

Getting and using resets

What is a reset in Codex, or “reset usage”?

It means restoring the covered usage allowance. Scheduled refreshes, automatic resets, saved banked resets and paid instant resets behave differently. It does not mean resetting your project or purchasing API credits. Understand each reset type.

How do you get resets in Codex?

Check official Usage for a saved banked reset or an eligible instant-reset offer, or wait for your scheduled refresh. Promotional grants are offer-specific. This website’s Request reset button only counts demand. Check the official reset options.

How many usage or rate limit resets do you get?

There is no universal quota of extra resets. The answer depends on your plan, offer and remaining account entitlements; a public event count cannot tell you your balance. Understand reset counts.

How do I use a banked Codex reset?

Choose an available reset in official desktop or web Usage settings and review its scope and expiry before confirming. Supported CLI versions also offer redemption through /usage. A grant alone does not refresh usage. Follow the redemption steps.

What does “Allow Codex to use resets” mean?

The desktop setting allows your assistant to redeem an existing banked reset under the applicable conditions. It does not generate free resets. Turn it off if you prefer manual redemption. Read the setting’s meaning.

Do Codex resets expire?

Banked resets can expire. Use the redemption deadline shown in Available or the offer, including its time zone. Paid instant resets apply immediately and cannot be saved for later. Check expiry distinctions.

Can I buy a Codex reset?

Selected Plus and Pro personal accounts may have an official paid instant-reset offer. Availability varies. Purchases apply immediately, cannot be banked, and can change the weekly schedule. This tracker does not sell them. Read the purchase explanation.

Is a reset the same as usage credits?

No. A reset restores a covered allowance; usage credits are a separate balance for supported usage. Compare the official options and prices in your own account before choosing. Compare resets and credits.

Your account

Can this site know my exact account reset time?

No. This tracker follows public events. Find your personal timestamp in the signed-in account, checking the allowance and time zone shown there. Use the account timing checklist.

Why did my limit not change after a public reset?

The offer may cover different accounts or allowances; a banked grant may still need redemption. Reopen Usage and check your account and workspace. Do not spend another reset simply to test the first. Troubleshoot a missing refresh.

Why did my weekly reset date change?

A banked, automatic or paid reset can alter the affected allowance’s next refresh time. That does not itself change your subscription billing date. Read the updated account display instead of the old countdown. Understand schedule changes.

Evidence and forecasts

Are Codex reset predictions official?

No. The 24-hour and 48-hour values are independent estimates. Their horizons overlap, so do not add them; read confidence, data age and evidence together. Learn how to read the forecast.

What counts as a verified reset?

A verified public event has evidence supporting its recorded scope. Previews and banked entitlements remain separate. Follow the original links, including the context of community reports from Reddit or X. Inspect the verification rules.

Privacy and independence

Does Codex Reset access my OpenAI account?

No. The tracker does not ask for your OpenAI password, API key or session cookie. Use official account surfaces for private reset controls. Read how public data is used.

Is Codex Reset affiliated with OpenAI?

No. This is an independent tracker. Its public record can be incomplete or corrected; OpenAI’s product documentation and your account display govern official entitlements. Read about the project.
