Since 17 September 2025 we have counted 44 resets; there are usually about 5 days between them. This is an observation, not a schedule: we do not predict the next reset. It varies: 3 of 44 resets were announced in advance. An announcement is not a reset: it is not counted until the reset is confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
When was the last Codex limit reset?
2 October 2026 (4 days ago): Reset all propagated. Enjoy.
How often are Codex limits reset?
Since 17 September 2025 we have counted 44 resets; there are usually about 5 days between them. This is an observation, not a schedule: we do not predict the next reset.
Are Codex limit resets announced in advance?
It varies: 3 of 44 resets were announced in advance. An announcement is not a reset: it is not counted until the reset is confirmed.
What is a banked reset?
A reset the company puts in your account for you to apply when you choose. We show such resets separately and do not add them to regular resets.
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
