What is a Codex banked reset?

A banked reset is a one-time Codex usage-limit reset saved on your account until you use it or it expires. It is not purchased credit and does not permanently raise your plan’s limit.

Does a banked reset apply when it is granted?

No. It stays saved. Open Settings → Usage and select the usage summary showing an available reset, such as “1 reset available” or “Full reset”. Review expiry before confirming.

What does a full banked reset refresh?

A full banked reset refreshes 5-hour and weekly Codex usage windows and changes your weekly reset date. It is consumed only if it successfully refreshes at least one eligible window.

How to use a banked reset

Open Settings → Usage on desktop, CLI, or web.
Select the summary that shows an available reset (“1 reset available” / “Full reset”).
Read expiry, then confirm.
If nothing needed a refresh, the saved reset stays available.
If the percentage does not move, refresh Settings — the dashboard can lag.

You may also see the option after hitting a usage limit. Options depend on plan and account. AI Limit cannot redeem a banked reset for you.
