Codex usage limit reset — history and next reset estimate

Two different things go by this name. Your personal 5-hour and weekly usage windows roll on their own schedule. Separately, the OpenAI Codex team sometimes announces a global reset that clears everyone's usage at once — that's what the table below lists, newest first.

There's no fixed time. Global resets happen whenever OpenAI Codex lead @thsottiaux posts one — this page checks that account every 20 minutes and records the announcement time (UTC) when it's available.

Right here. Codex resets don't have an official status page — they're announced as posts on X by @thsottiaux. This page lists every announcement in order with a link to the original post, so you don't have to dig through the timeline yourself.

It depends on the announcement. Some clear both the 5-hour and weekly limits, some only the weekly limit, and some are banked resets instead of an immediate clear-out. Check the summary for each row — it's taken directly from the announcement text.

A banked reset is credited to your account and only kicks in the next time you're close to your limit, instead of clearing usage immediately. OpenAI has used them around weekends or as compensation after an incident. Who gets one, how many, and how long they last varies by announcement — check the linked post for the specifics.

Codex usage follows your ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Business, etc.). Whether a given global reset covers your plan is stated in the announcement — check the ‘Applies to’ column; rows marked ‘Paid users’ or ‘Plus/Pro users’ include ChatGPT Plus.

Everything on this page is UTC. Convert to your local time as needed — that's why the date shown here can be a day off from when you actually saw the announcement. Your personal 5-hour and weekly windows roll on your own usage time, not a fixed UTC hour.

See ‘Typical gap’ below — it's the median of recent gaps and shifts over time. Resets cluster around major releases and incidents; quiet stretches of several weeks with none at all aren't unusual.

Usually the announcement states scope explicitly — ‘all users’, ‘paid plans’, or a specific tier. The ‘Applies to’ column is parsed straight from the announcement text; check the source post for the exact wording.
