Codex Reset Tracking Methodology

How Codex Reset verifies public reset reports, separates preview signals, and calculates its short-term forecast.

Last updated: 2026-08-05

What counts as a verified reset

A verified reset requires public evidence that a broad Codex or related usage-limit refresh actually occurred. The tracker records the announcement time, a concise summary, the evidence source, and a confidence label. Whenever possible, the event links directly to the original public post rather than a secondary summary.

A statement that a reset may happen soon is not treated as a completed reset. It remains a preview signal until later evidence confirms the event. This distinction prevents anticipation from being presented as fact.

How the data is handled

Public forecast and timeline information is retrieved on the server and normalized before the page is rendered. Unsupported links and links back to an aggregation service are removed. Only original public evidence using standard HTTP or HTTPS URLs is exposed to the browser.

The site refreshes its server-side snapshot at short intervals. If one source is temporarily unavailable, the page enters a partial state and keeps available sections visible. If all sources fail, missing values remain unavailable; the site does not substitute historical guesses or hard-coded events.

How the forecast should be read

The 24-hour and 48-hour values are probabilities derived from observed reset cadence and current public evidence. The recent median cadence summarizes the middle interval among recent events, while the common activity window shows when relevant activity has frequently appeared.

These values are descriptive, not deterministic. A 65% probability does not mean a reset is scheduled, and a low probability does not rule one out. Confidence, the reset history, and the original evidence should be considered together.

Known limitations

  • Public global reports cannot reveal an individual account's private weekly reset time.
  • Public announcements can be delayed, incomplete, or later clarified.
  • Historical cadence can change when product limits or policies change.
  • A global reset may not affect every plan, product surface, or account identically.

For account-specific timing, use Codex /status. For common questions about the distinction between account and global resets, read the FAQ.
