What is a banked Codex reset?
Direct answer: a banked reset is stored reset credit attached to an eligible account. It is not proof that a public usage limit reset happened for every user.
How it differs from other reset types
| TYPE | MEANING | WHERE TO VERIFY |
|---|---|---|
| Banked | Stored credit that may be available to an eligible account. | Your account's Settings → Usage |
| Scheduled | Your own rolling or weekly allowance timer. | Settings → Usage or /status |
| Public | An announced or confirmed event for a stated scope. | Public status plus your account screen |
Eligibility and account dependence
Availability depends on the account, plan, product surface, and the options shown in that account. This site cannot see your plan, stored credit, remaining allowance, or expiry date. Do not infer a fixed number of credits or a universal eligibility rule from another user's report.
How to check what happened
- Open Settings → Usage, or run
/statusin the Codex CLI. - Identify the same allowance that was exhausted.
- Look for the available reset credit or account option and any displayed expiry or usage change.
- Use the credit only if the product shows it for your account, then refresh the same counter.
What a banked event does not prove
A source-linked banked event can describe stored credit being offered or applied. It cannot prove that your personal account received it, that a scheduled timer changed, or that a global reset occurred. Our history and reset-time guide keep those cases separate.

Frequently asked questions
Does a banked reset change my normal timer?
Not necessarily. Check the allowance and timer shown in your own account after using or receiving the credit.
Can this site confirm my banked credit?
No. We record public evidence only; we cannot access private account state.
Is a banked reset the same as a public reset?
No. Banked credit is account-dependent. A public reset has a stated scope and still may not prove recovery for every account.
