There is more than one Codex reset
“Codex reset limit” usually refers to the time shown beside a usage window in Codex. That is an account-specific rolling reset. It is not the same as an occasional public hard reset announced by OpenAI staff, and it is not the same as redeeming a banked reset.
Usage also varies with the model, reasoning effort, task complexity, context size, and where work runs. Two people on the same plan can consume their allowance at different speeds.
Rolling windows
Codex may show shorter and longer usage windows. The authoritative reset timestamp for those windows is the one displayed in your Codex Usage view. This site cannot see your private account state and never asks for credentials, tokens, or cookies.
A rolling window does not necessarily reset at midnight. Its timing is tied to the account’s usage window, which is why generic countdowns are often inaccurate.
Public and banked resets
A public hard reset restores an active allowance for a broad group. A banked reset is a separate credit that eligible users can redeem. Promotions, referrals, service compensation, and milestone celebrations can all produce different kinds of relief.
Codex Reset Radar labels every event by type and scope so a report about one mechanism is not presented as another.
