Codex Resets
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
OpenAI's Codex resets usage limits unpredictably when an executive tweets, tracked by a community site.
Codex-resets.com tracks when OpenAI's Thibaut Sottiaux (@thsottiaux) resets usage limits for Codex and ChatGPT Work paid users via X (Twitter) posts. Resets have no schedule or changelog. The site reports 35 resets bestowed, with an average interval of 8.9 days and a longest drought of 67.7 days. Each announcement is preserved, showing resets for milestones (7M, 8M, 9M active users), outages, incidents, and holidays. Recent resets include "banked" resets users can apply on their own schedule, expiring after 30 days.
What commenters are saying
Commenters note OpenAI's recent resets are increasingly direct (not banked), possibly due to cost. Some see it as a growth tactic for an IPO, noting rapid user growth (9M active users from 7M in days). Others compare Anthropic's approach, with some finding Claude's +50% promo better value. A split emerges: one camp sees resets as unsustainable money-burning, another argues unused capacity costs nothing and the strategy builds goodwill and user retention.
