THE CODEX RESET RECORD2026-09-18 / UTC
LIMITS, RESETS, AND THE PROOF

Codex usage limit reset.

When Codex usage limits are wiped for a group of users, OpenAI staff announce it publicly — usually with little notice. This page answers the practical question, “have usage limits been reset, and when?” from verified announcements only: the latest confirmed reset is above, the full record is below.

What a usage limit reset means here.

Announced resets, not personal timers. This record tracks extra resets that OpenAI has announced publicly. It cannot see your account, so it never claims your personal limits have recovered — and an announcement time is when the post went up, not when limits returned for every user.

Scope is part of every record. Some resets applied to all Codex users, others only to paid subscriptions or a specific group. Each entry below states its scope exactly as announced.

Banked credits don’t count as resets. A banked rate-limit reset credit is stored on the account for later use. It does not restore current limits, so it never advances the latest-reset clock in this record.

Every usage limit reset on record.

Codex usage limit reset FAQ.

Have Codex usage limits been reset recently?

The current-answer panel above shows the latest confirmed usage reset on record, with its date, scope, and the original post. Records are added only after the announcement has been read and verified — so if no newer record appears, that means no newer announcement has been verified, not that none exists.

Why hasn’t my Codex usage limit reset?

These are publicly announced resets — extra grants OpenAI announces for groups of Codex users. They are separate from your account’s own usage windows, which recover on their own schedule. Scope also differs per reset, and an announcement does not guarantee that every account has already recovered its limits.

Is a usage limit reset the same as my plan’s usage windows?

No. Your plan’s regular usage windows refill by themselves. The resets recorded here are additional public events, and each entry states which users it applied to — never treat a partial reset as a global one.

Where is the proof behind each usage limit reset?

Every record links the original announcement and the post that confirmed it, timestamped in UTC. Community threads and other trackers are never accepted as confirmation.
