OpenAI has conducted multiple global resets of Codex usage limits in recent weeks, most recently on September 12, 2026, following earlier ones tied to the Astra rollout and a 25 million active user milestone. These actions address user complaints about rapid quota depletion from auto-review, background suggestions, and agentic workflows on models like GPT-5.6 Sol, alongside a rolling five-hour window and weekly cap that disproportionately affect heavy Pro and Business plan users. Frequent resets, announced via team channels and tracked by community sites, reflect efforts to maintain engagement amid competition in AI coding tools while engineers fix consumption bugs. Upcoming catalysts include the October 14 retirement of GPT-5.5 and ongoing model updates that could alter limit dynamics or trigger further relief measures.

A qualifying reset is a discretionary, non-scheduled action by OpenAI that, ahead of the normal reset schedule, either zeroes or refills the weekly or generally applicable usage allowance for paid Codex or ChatGPT Work subscription users, or grants those users a reset that OpenAI characterizes as a banked or redeemable rate-limit reset, regardless of whether or when individual users redeem it. A reset will still qualify if certain models with separate usage limits, certain plans, or some users are not covered due to technical exceptions, phased rollout, or plan differences.
Normal scheduled resets, resets granted only to individually selected users or accounts, temporary limit increases, additional usage or credits that do not refill existing allowances, and changes to pricing, plans, or usage caps will not qualify. Resets of OpenAI API rate limits or organizational usage tiers will also not qualify.
Only qualifying resets announced or initiated after the creation of this market will be considered.
An official announcement stating that OpenAI has reset, is resetting, or will reset the limits on the same date as the announcement will qualify if published within the market's timeframe, regardless of when the technical reset begins or is completed. Qualifying announcements include X posts by official OpenAI accounts or OpenAI employees authorized to announce Codex usage changes, for example: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2042296046009626989 and https://x.com/sama/status/2041658719839383945.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official communications from OpenAI, including X posts published by @OpenAI, @OpenAIDevs, @sama, @thsottiaux, or any other OpenAI-operated account, as well as official OpenAI blog posts, changelogs, and in-product notices. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
