Does OpenAI notify me when Codex resets?

Not for public or global resets. Your own 5-hour and weekly clocks appear in Settings → Usage or /status, but there is no push for a public reset announcement.

Do I need to log in to ChatGPT to get Codex reset alerts?

Not with AI Limit. It reads public reset announcements and does not access your ChatGPT, Codex account, or conversations.

Will an alert mean my own limit is reset?

Not always. A public reset may not cover every plan or account. Verify in Settings → Usage or /status.

Codex Reset Notifications & Alerts

Stop refreshing social feeds and trackers. Get a push on your iPhone the moment a public Codex reset is announced.

OpenAI does not send you an email or push when a public Codex reset happens. The practical way to be notified is an app that watches public reset announcements and pushes them to your phone — AI Limit does this for global resets, banked resets, and scheduled reset countdowns, without an OpenAI login.

What you can be alerted about

Regular (global) resets — a public reset that refreshes limits for affected plans.
Banked resets — see how banked resets work.
Scheduled resets — when a reset is announced for a future time, you get a countdown instead of a surprise.
Strong Watch — an alert for high-probability reset windows, so you can open Codex before the rush.

Set up Codex reset alerts on iPhone

Install AI Limit from the App Store (iOS 17+).
Open Settings in the app and turn on the alert types you want (Regular, Banked, Strong Watch).
Allow notifications when iOS asks. If you use Focus modes, allow AI Limit in the Focus you work in.
Keep Background App Refresh on for the most reliable delivery.

No OpenAI account connection is needed — alerts come from public announcements.

What a public alert does not tell you

A public alert says a reset was announced. It does not know your personal 5-hour or weekly remaining usage, and a global reset may not cover every plan. After an alert, confirm in Settings → Usage or /status. If your clock did not move, read Codex reset not working.

Alternatives to a push app

You can check the live public status page or the reset history manually, or add a Home Screen widget so the latest reset is always visible. Notifications are the only option that interrupts you at the right moment.
