Codex limit resets

OpenAI · Codex, ChatGPT

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.
