WhenResets // Codex Reset Radar

Will Tibo reset you first?

Q: When is the next Codex reset?

Your guaranteed weekly reset time is in the Codex app. Extra resets are never pre-announced. History gives a rhythm, not a schedule: median gap 3.0 days between resets, one every ~2.7 days over the last 30, and one every ~6.7 days across the whole ledger. The worst silence on record is 68 days.

Q: What time of day do Codex resets happen?

They follow Tibo's working hours. Bucketed by UTC hour across 55 resets, the peak is 23:00 UTC and only 4 resets (7%) landed in the 06:00-14:59 UTC window. If you are in Europe or Asia, the reset usually lands while you are asleep.

Q: How is this different from other Codex reset trackers?

Most trackers answer 'did Codex reset today'. We track what happens before the reset: outages (15 compensation resets), user milestones (8), model launches — and then answer the question your app cannot: whether an extra reset is likely to land before your own weekly reset time.

Q: Does clearing my 5-hour window restore my weekly limit?

No. The 5-hour window and the weekly window are separate budgets that refill on separate schedules. If your weekly budget is exhausted, waiting out a 5-hour window does not unlock anything — you need the weekly rollover, a goodwill reset, a banked reset, or credits. Per-provider rules are catalogued at whenresets.net/rules.

Your Codex app shows the latest your quota comes back. This tracks every time OpenAI gave it back early — 55 times since Sep 2025 — and the signal that came before each one.

Did Codex reset today?

NO — not so far today (UTC). The last verified reset landed 10 days ago (Sep 12, 2026).

The reset promise, in Tibo’s own words

Sep 11 — “When I say excellent service for existing users, that includes the occasional reset” source →
Sep 15 — “This week will also be a level of ships that you could have expected for DevDay 2025. Crazy” source →
Sep 19 — “OK fine. But it’s also still coming in Tuesday” source →

EXPERIMENTAL // Pace is a rhythm, not a schedule. Text above is quoted byte-for-byte from the source post, cross-checked before it ships. Always confirm your own window in Codex → Settings → Usage.

Will an extra reset beat your clock?

Pace says the next one was due around Sep 14, 2026 — that is 7.4 days ago.

The ledger's worst silence was 68 days (Dec 25, 2025 → Mar 3, 2026), so overdue is normal here, not a countdown. Waiting longer does not raise the odds.

Now the part no tracker answers: open Codex → Settings → Usage, read your weekly reset time, and drop it here. We compare it against the rhythm above.

What time of day do resets land?

Resets are one man’s call, so they follow his clock. Every one of the 55 events, bucketed by UTC hour:

55 resets bucketed by UTC hour · peak 23:00 (7 events) · quietest stretch 06:00–14:59

Only 4 of 55 events (7%) landed between 06:00 and 14:59 UTC. If you are in Europe or Asia, the reset almost always lands while you are asleep — which is exactly why an email beats refreshing. See how every other tool’s window is timed →

How long between resets?

01Wait for the rescue

Use the estimator above. If odds are HIGH, parking Codex for a day or two may beat paying — an extra reset is overdue by the recent pace.

02Top up officially

Claude, Cursor, GLM and the others reset on different schedules. Check all reset rules — one of them is probably fresh right now.

FAQ

Did Codex reset today?

NO — not so far today (UTC). The last verified reset landed 10 days ago (Sep 12, 2026). We log every unannounced reset within hours of the announcement: 55 events since Sep 2025. For your personal weekly reset, the Codex app (Settings → Usage) is authoritative.

When is the next Codex reset?

Your guaranteed weekly reset time is in the app. Extra resets are never pre-announced — history gives a rhythm, not a schedule: median gap 3.0 days, one every ~2.7 days over the last 30, one every ~6.7 days across the whole ledger. The worst silence on record is 68 days.

What time of day do Codex resets happen?

They follow Tibo’s working hours. Across 55 events the peak hour is 23:00 UTC, and only 4 (7%) landed in the 06:00–14:59 UTC window. If you are in Europe or Asia, the reset usually lands while you are asleep.

What is a Codex banked reset?

A reset saved to your account that you redeem when you choose — it does not refresh usage on its own. 8 banked grants are in the ledger, most recently around the Astra rollout in Sep 2026. Full mechanics →

Does clearing my 5-hour window restore my weekly limit?

No. They are separate budgets refilling on separate schedules, so waiting out a 5-hour window does not unlock an exhausted week. You need the weekly rollover, a goodwill reset, a banked reset, or credits. Per-provider rules →

How is this different from other Codex reset trackers?

Most trackers answer “did Codex reset today”. We track what happens before — outages (15 compensation resets on record), milestones (8), launches — and then answer the question your app cannot: whether an extra reset lands before your weekly time.

Why this page exists

01Guaranteed resets have no info gap

Your weekly reset time is already in the Codex app. A website can’t tell you that any better than the app does.

02Early resets do

Full and banked resets arrive unannounced — 55 times so far. If you’re blocked, knowing one is overdue changes what you do next.

03Signals matter most

By the time a reset lands, your app catches up fast. The valuable window is before: outages, milestones, launches. We watch those.
