OpenAI Codex users get a free banked usage reset!

OpenAI shipped a batch of updates to dots today, and Codex lead Tibo announced that a new banked reset has been activated and is landing in everyone's accounts.

What you get

• Each account gets one free Codex usage reset. It is saved to your account first and does not refresh your usage until you choose to use it.
• When you use it, your plan's main Codex allowance goes back to 100%. On Go that is the monthly allowance, on Plus and Business Standard the 5-hour and weekly allowances, and on Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500 the weekly allowance.
• Separate allowances such as image generation, file uploads and Chat voice are not covered.
• Each reset has its own expiration, which you can see on your Usage page. Delivery happens in waves, so some accounts get it a bit later.

How to use it

1. In the Codex desktop app, open Settings > Usage & billing (on the web, open Usage settings), pick the available reset and confirm. The mobile app can't redeem resets yet.
2. In Codex CLI, type /usage and choose Redeem reset.
3. At least one covered allowance needs to be below 80% before the reset can be used, so there's no rush. Save it for a day when you're nearly out and still have work to ship.
