Since 17 September 2025, Codex limits have been reset 44 times, usually about every 5 days. There is no schedule: the next one can come tomorrow or in a month. Mostly not: 3 of 44 were announced ahead. Usually the post comes once the reset has already happened. An announcement doesn't count until the reset is confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
When was the last Codex limit reset?

How often are Codex limits reset?
Since 17 September 2025, Codex limits have been reset 44 times, usually about every 5 days. There is no schedule: the next one can come tomorrow or in a month.
Are Codex limit resets announced in advance?
Mostly not: 3 of 44 were announced ahead. Usually the post comes once the reset has already happened. An announcement doesn't count until the reset is confirmed.
What is a banked reset?
A spare reset added to your account that you apply when you want. We don’t add it to the regular reset count.
How do I get a Codex limit reset?
You cannot request one. OpenAI runs global resets itself, usually for all paid plans at once: every such reset is on this page, and alerts tell you the moment it happens. Sometimes OpenAI gives accounts a banked reset — it shows up in Codex Settings → Usage and you apply it when you choose.
How do I apply a banked Codex reset?
In Codex open Settings → Usage (in the app, the CLI or on the web), pick the available reset and confirm; you see when it expires before you apply it. A full banked reset clears both the 5-hour and the weekly window, and your weekly reset date moves. OpenAI help article
When does my Codex limit reset, and where do I check it?
It is different for every account: Codex has a 5-hour and a weekly window, and your exact reset time is in Settings → Usage, or /status in the CLI. A global reset from OpenAI clears limits for everyone at once and cannot be saved for later, unlike a banked reset. Those global resets are what this page tracks. OpenAI help article
