How long is this gonna last? OpenAI obviously is doing it to gain mindshare but they're burning money before their IPO and can't sustain these resets. They've bought a lot of dev goodwill tho, which matters I guess.

Are Codex users even a drop in the bucket of overall use? I mean, it's a pretty specific way to interact with the bot.

Codex usage is clearly common enough to have entered the vernacular of folks here on HN.

But we aren't everyone, and it seems likely to me that there's a lot more people in the world burning tokens using ChatGPT than there are who even know what Codex is.

We don’t know that. If they have already paid for the hardware and it is not running 100%, and customers would not pay to get reset, they don’t really lose money.

Crazy value for money now with the banked resets. At my $COMPANY, we have claude enterprise at API pricing. I've blown through $10k already this month, opting for Opus 4.8 w/ Sonnet 5 agents where possible. On my codex pro plan, I am 5.6 sol'ing my way everyday with the odd ultra mode. Point being my real API usage here must be very unsustainable!

This is the Kimi and GLM effect.

Open Source is coming.

Is Claude also doing something like this? I saw my Fable limit resetting earlier than expected.

I've had this too on my personal pro plan and also when I run the usage command it says it's resetting tomorrow rather than getting cut off. I'm trying to squeeze what I can in the meantime but I feel like they said it was getting cut off multiple times and they keep extending and possibly resetting it (havent been looking close enough to know for sure)

They had an issue yesterday that said Fable needed extra usage.

I’m guessing they’re getting ready.

I'm kind of impressed how often they manage to do this. Claude Code and Grok Build do resets too, but nowhere near this often. And in an ironic twist for a big company with the infrastructure, Google Antigravity never seems to do resets like this at all (at least that I've noticed). I wonder how much this stuff costs OpenAI to do?

$10,000 in less than three weeks is incredible. The bean counters sure have a blind spot for AI…

Forgive my ignorance... Usage limits reset for 100% of customers at the same instant?

Originally yes, everyone's usage limit went back to 100% at the same time regardless of if you were at 0% or 99%. Now they tend to give out "banked" resets where users can choose when to use it for up to a month (except the most recent one, which I think was non-banked)

Over the last 2 weeks, 6 of the resets are direct to the usage limit.

In the same timeframe, 2 additional resets were banked.

I really wish there was a canonical platform endpoint to programmatically check Codex usage amount and the quota reset times so I could just vibecode an app to alert "hey, your usage just went to 100% so that means OpenAI did a reset" and "hey, your 5-hour usage is at 10%, wrap up what you're doing".

The only way to do it now is through shenanigans with the Codex App Server which is not ideal.

Here it's only Microsoft (ghcp) allowed, and 39$ per month is considered ludicrous with no way to increase. Ah Europe
