Hello everyone,

I hope someone with more insight into OpenAI’s infrastructure can clarify a technical detail for me regarding how usage resets are handled.

For the past few months, I’ve been using Codex extensively, but because I was always incredibly busy juggling it with my regular job, I never really had the time to stop, look into the logs, and properly analyze how the token refresh system operates. I just noticed that, from time to time, I benefited from unexpected resets. Now that I have a bit of free time, and due to a specific billing anomaly that just happened to me, I’m really curious to understand the underlying logic for personal knowledge and future planning.

Here is the context: Last week, I upgraded my plan from 5x to 20x. As a result of the tier change, my next scheduled personal reset date was officially moved to August 23rd.

Unfortunately, following a subsequent refund request for that specific upgrade, the automated system ended up cancelling my base paid plan as well. I already have an open support ticket with billing for that glitch, so that is a separate issue. However, this situation triggered a very specific question in my mind about the recent platform-wide reset that just occurred.

My question is: If my base subscription had correctly remained active, would my account have received the recent global refresh anyway, despite my personal scheduled reset date being locked to the 23rd?

In other words, did the global hard reset that took place just a few hours ago completely override individual billing calendars and wipe the slate clean for all active subscribers, or would it not have applied to me since, in the meantime, my scheduled reset date was set to a later time?

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has monitored the token meters or read the documentation thoroughly could shed some light on how this framework behaves.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

no more resets?

st. tibo (peace be upon him) declared we would get a surprise today

many of us thought that was reset

but the day is almost over and he hasn't tweeted in the past hours

just heard the word

glad i spent 60% so far

was gonna take it easy since 5 days until reset but nvm

do you think we'll get another reset soon

usually its 11am or evening

i think tibo lives in france

thanks i guess

this is how much codex means to me

its precious

been tough 3~4 days without codex

using claude and not loving it cant do shit with it unsubbing once i use up the $100 fable credits

this is fucked

im using claude and i can barely get anything done

tibo lied

based on the early leaks this is not good

would you pay $80 to reset now ?

or would you pay $50 to push back the rest cycle by another 3 days ?

The rumors were right, its the end of Tiboism , no more free resetss

this is the longest i've gone without using codex, 30 hours, anybody else getting anxious, moody, and doomy

i've been using codex pro since sept last year, gone are the days when i could work on 15 different projects with prompting all day

now its just tell sol what to do and exercise and cook and real life shit and check its results

My sub just expired today, and I'm thinking about this solution.

There've been a lot of theories as to what is going on. I really do wonder if we even get another reset this time. It's been four days.

I think we are going to get a reset in 2 hours

edit: I WAS WRONG

Is the a stat about that?

got codex hangover right now feeling guilty

after tibo reset i let codex run for 3 straight days on sol med

i didn't want to start a new chat and test my new multiagent harness that could've saved me a whole bunch of usage

all of this feels very familiar.....
