Why didn't my Codex usage limit reset?
Use this page when the time you expected has passed but your allowance has not returned. Separate a personal rolling window from a weekly allowance, public event, or banked credit.
Direct answer: Check Settings → Usage for the account-specific reset time, then identify the same allowance after that time. A displayed time can belong to a different counter, a public announcement may describe rollout rather than completion, and this site cannot read your account state. For plan context, see the official OpenAI pricing documentation.

Which Codex reset are you waiting for?
| RESET TYPE | WHAT IT MEANS | WHERE TO VERIFY |
|---|---|---|
| Personal 5-hour | A rolling allowance tied to your own usage window. | Settings → Usage |
| Personal weekly | An account- and plan-specific weekly allowance. | Settings → Usage |
| Public/global | An event announced or confirmed for a stated eligible scope. | Current status and original source |
| Banked | Stored reset credit available only to eligible accounts. | Banked reset guide |
Why the expected time may not restore access
First, make sure the time belonged to the exhausted counter. A short rolling window and a weekly allowance can recover independently. Next, distinguish your account timer from a public event: an announcement or rollout signal does not prove completion for every eligible account. Finally, usage can be consumed at different rates because the selected model, task complexity, context, and local or cloud work affect the applicable allowance. Recheck the same account screen rather than inferring a universal quota or schedule.
What to check in order
- Identify the counter. Open Settings → Usage and read the exact reset time for the allowance that was exhausted.
- Check scope. A public event may be announced, rolling out, or confirmed only for a stated group; it is not private-account proof.
- Use the local timer. Enter the future time shown for your account above. It is a convenience countdown, not a connection to Codex.
- Recheck after the time. If the same counter has not recovered, use the limit-reached decision guide and the account options shown there.
Personal timing
Your personal allowance is tied to your account's usage window. This tracker cannot read private account state or infer a reset time from another user's account. To inspect remaining usage instead, use the usage-limit guide.
Public and banked events
A public reset is separate from personal timing; we distinguish announced events from confirmed completion in the current status and verified history. A banked reset is stored credit for eligible accounts, not a universal reset clock; read the banked reset guide.
Frequently asked questions
Why didn't my Codex usage limit reset?
A personal 5-hour or weekly allowance follows the timing shown for your account, not a universal clock. Check Settings → Usage first; an announced public event may also have a different scope or may not yet be confirmed as complete.
What is the Codex 5-hour reset time?
There is no universal 5-hour reset time. Your rolling allowance is tied to your own usage window, so use the exact time shown in Settings → Usage for your account.
Does Codex have a weekly reset?
Weekly limits are account-specific. This tracker cannot provide a universal weekly reset time.
Does an announced public Codex reset mean my limit has reset?
No. An announcement describes an expected public event. It does not by itself confirm completion for every eligible account.
What is a banked Codex reset?
A banked reset is stored reset credit for an eligible account. It is separate from a personal allowance and is not proof of a public reset for everyone.
