What "banked" means
A banked reset is a one-time Codex usage-limit reset saved to your account until you use it or it expires. It is not purchased credit and does not raise your plan's limit. Using one refreshes your 5-hour and weekly windows and moves your weekly reset date to the day you use it.
A global reset, like most days in the run, is applied to your limits right away and is not saved for later. Find banked resets in Settings > Usage on the desktop app, CLI or web. Codex: banked full resets refresh both the 5-hour and weekly windows and move your weekly reset date. Use them any time in Settings > Usage (desktop, CLI, web). Expiry varies by offer and is shown on each reset; recent grants show about 30 days. OpenAI Help
FAQ
Who is @thsottiaux?
Tibo (@thsottiaux on X) works on Codex at OpenAI. He announces Codex and ChatGPT Work usage resets, including banked resets, on his X account, and OpenAI's help pages describe how those resets work.
What is the 28-day Codex run?
On Oct 4, 2026 Tibo posted that over the next 28 days, each day OpenAI would either ship one clear improvement for most Codex and Work users or ship a full reset (post 2106845241357824205). Day 1 was Oct 5 and Day 28 falls on Nov 1.
What does a banked Codex reset mean?
A banked reset is a one-time Codex usage-limit reset saved to your account until you use it or it expires. Using it refreshes both the 5-hour and weekly windows and moves your weekly reset date. A global (automatic) reset applies right away and is not saved. Source: OpenAI Help, How banked Codex resets work.
Where do I see or use a banked reset?
Open Settings > Usage in the Codex desktop app, CLI or web, select the reset (for example "1 reset available"), check its expiry and confirm. Expiry varies by offer; recent grants show about 30 days.
Did the latest Codex reset reach my account?
Tibo's posts usually say a global reset lands by end of day Pacific time. Refresh Settings > Usage and check you are on the right account or workspace. OpenAI Support does not hand out manual resets.
Which days were resets?
Days 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13. Day 3 was a banked reset; the rest were full global resets. Days without a reset shipped an improvement instead.
