- LwrlessThose resets and the removal of the 5-hour usage limit are quietly anchoring me to a much higher usage baseline. I've stopped rationing and just spawn a bunch of agents to work at whatever pace I want, because there always seem to be more resets on the way (at least true for the last week). And now I am actually worried about that if one day they just stop doing so, my "normal" workflow will suddenly exceed the limit, and upgrading will feel like a step backwards.
- nsbkThis feels a lot like free spins in slot machines. I have a friend obsessed with using up all the Fable usage which supposedly ends today. He's doing a lot of stuff of questionable usefulness just because it's a resource perceived as scarce.
- midnightbobarunI'm kind of impressed how often they manage to do this. Claude Code and Grok Build do resets too, but nowhere near this often. And in an ironic twist for a big company with the infrastructure, Google Antigravity never seems to do resets like this at all (at least that I've noticed). I wonder how much this stuff costs OpenAI to do?
- mvkel> 5 days ago: 7M users> 4 days ago: 8M users> 3 days ago: 9M usersThat's some incredible growth.
- bottlepalmIt’s like two parents fighting over their children with who can give them the most gifts. I’m loving it, two Christmases!!
- huey77Crazy value for money now with the banked resets. At my $COMPANY, we have claude enterprise at API pricing. I've blown through $10k already this month, opting for Opus 4.8 w/ Sonnet 5 agents where possible. On my codex pro plan, I am 5.6 sol'ing my way everyday with the odd ultra mode. Point being my real API usage here must be very unsustainable!
- minimaxirI really wish there was a canonical platform endpoint to programmatically check Codex usage amount and the quota reset times so I could just vibecode an app to alert "hey, your usage just went to 100% so that means OpenAI did a reset" and "hey, your 5-hour usage is at 10%, wrap up what you're doing".The only way to do it now is through shenanigans with the Codex App Server which is not ideal.
- sva_Compare to Anthropic who consistently do their resets between Thursday and Friday, somewhat alienating people who have their resets around that time.
- fomozThis is a useful site.I've been enjoying the resets, plus I had 3 resets I haven't used.Just using 5.6 Sol in Fast mode the whole time, 1B tokens per day.However, when they removed the 5h limit they also quietly lowered the 5.6 Sol context from 354k to 258k or something like that. I noticed it in Codex.
- sim04fulI'm starting to think It might be a good idea to stay with American models, by virtue of them feeling so threatened they give out more and more free perks.
- yewenjieIs Claude also doing something like this? I saw my Fable limit resetting earlier than expected.
- sumedhOpenAI should have just focussed on Coding instead of wasting time with Sora.
- JoheyDev888hese resets are a trap. They're artificially anchoring our workflows to a massive baseline, trapping us for the inevitable 5x price hike when the market finally consolidates.
- nzeidForgive my ignorance... Usage limits reset for 100% of customers at the same instant?
- edumucelliAlso the fact that now you can keep unused resets and use them later is a big advantage: "You have 4 usage limit resets available".
- __alexanderI just learned the hard way that codex removes resets once the weekly cycle starts.
- somewhereoutthSo... basically watching them set fire to money in realtime??
- throwitaway222Confirmed, was at 40% earlier, now at 90%
- bazzingadevCan this made into a public api of sorts so that my agents know ?
- d-yodaAnthropic would say that's exactly why they're in the red.
- dofmCasino comp and drug dealer freebie tactics again. Shoddy business, IMO.
- theoneoneyou should periodically feed the data to chatgpt to try to predict the next reset!
- behnamohHow long is this gonna last? OpenAI obviously is doing it to gain mindshare but they're burning money before their IPO and can't sustain these resets.They've bought a lot of dev goodwill tho, which matters I guess.
- qntmfredI'd enable push notifications for this site
- hirvi74Not to veer to far off topic, but do any of you long-term Codex users happen to know how long the Codex Resets can be banked for? I can find no indications of an expiration date in the TUI or on the Web App. From what I have searched, I have been getting somewhat mixed answers.Anyway, I do appreciate how OpenAI seems to be far more generous with these resets than other providers. I've never come close to needing a reset yet. I have some tasks that I have been procrastinating, so my need for my resets might come in handy in the near future.
- monster_truckI stopped paying for Codex because of this shit. "Whoops we burned a week of 20x usage in minutes because we fucked up the cache again. You can keep paying money to get more resets to fix it"nah, I'll use open models. Only way I'd use codex now is if it was free, and I don't mean someone else paying for it. I would rather have them pay for DSv4P or Kimi

- jasonvorhe> No schedule. No changelog. Only the feed. We watch it so you don't have to.Using genai for such a bland text. The slop intensifies.

- jdw64I love Codex!
- zuzululureally need one soon .... gpt sol used up all my banked resets
- luciana1uthere's now a live status page tracking when a trillion-dollar company decides to hand out free compute, and refreshing it at 2am feels like a completely reasonable thing to do
- luciana1uthere is now a dedicated dashboard tracking when a tech company resets its own rate limits and it is somehow more reliable than the actual product status page
- nickandbroGreat now what about one for Claude Code?
- irfan_99ai tools now becoming expensive + too rate limits even on paid plans
