Codex Astra launch: banked reset announced for paid plans

Written by AI from the cited sources and checked by an automatic fact gate before publishing. Numbers and product names must appear in a cited source. It does not read your account; check your own Usage page for your reset time.

What was announced

An announcement dated 2026-09-05 UTC promised a full banked reset to celebrate the Astra rollout. The post said it would land “end of day.” That was the announcement's delivery commitment, not evidence that each account received the credit. See the original announcement.

A banked reset is a credit the account holder chooses when to use. It should not be treated as an immediate refill of an account's allowance.

Who was included

The announcement named Plus, Pro and Business users. The full post also said users who created an account or upgraded before 8pm PT would receive it. This cutoff comes from the full post; the shortened description does not contain the complete postscript. The signup or upgrade cutoff is separate from the “end of day” delivery wording.

What remains unconfirmed

The source verifies a dated announcement, not delivery to an individual account. It does not give an exact delivery clock time with a timezone for “end of day,” or establish a shared reset time for every account.

Earlier related announcement

A separate announcement dated 2026-08-30 UTC said a Codex and ChatGPT Work reset would land at 6pm PST. That earlier scheduled reset does not establish delivery of the Astra banked credit. Read the earlier announcement.
