Codex Resets

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

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

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.

> 5 days ago: 7M users > 4 days ago: 8M users > 3 days ago: 9M users That's some incredible growth.

Compare to Anthropic who consistently do their resets between Thursday and Friday, somewhat alienating people who have their resets around that time.

It’s like two parents fighting over their children with who can give them the most gifts. I’m loving it, two Christmases!!

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!

So... basically watching them set fire to money in realtime??

Great now what about one for Claude Code?

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?

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.

OpenAI should have just focussed on Coding instead of wasting time with Sora.

I'd enable push notifications for this site

Those resets and the removal of the 5-hour usage limit are quietly anchoring me to a much higher usage baseline. I've stopped rationing and just spawn a bunch of agents to work at whatever pace I want, because there always seem to be more resets on the way (at least true for the last week). And now I am actually worried about that if one day they just stop doing so, my "normal" workflow will suddenly exceed the limit, and upgrading will feel like a step backwards.

there is now a dedicated dashboard tracking when a tech company resets its own rate limits and it is somehow more reliable than the actual product status page

Casino comp and drug dealer freebie tactics again. Shoddy business, IMO.
