What happened
On 2026-07-12, an announcement said a banked reset had been granted to ChatGPT Work and Codex users who pressed the reset button during a two-hour window affected by an issue.
The post said banked resets had just become available through web and mobile, following desktop app support. During the affected window, some attempts to use a banked reset did not reset usage. Because identifying the exact affected accounts was difficult, the grant covered everyone who pressed the button during that window.
A banked reset is a credit the account holder chooses when to use. Receiving that credit does not establish that an account's usage allowance was immediately refilled.
Who the grant covered
The reported grant covered ChatGPT Work and Codex users who pressed reset during the affected window. The same post announced a separate plan to grant a banked reset across all ChatGPT Work and Codex users “tomorrow.” That statement records an intention; this source does not confirm completion of the broader grant.
What the source does not say
The post does not give the affected window's exact start and end times, an individual account's reset time, or confirmation that every account received an immediate usage reset. The usage guidance also distinguishes banked credits from immediate refills and cautions against treating account resets as globally synchronized.
