What happened
On 2026-05-16, an announcement stated: “Codex usage limits have now been reset across all paid plans.” The stated scope was all paid plans.
What the announcement does not establish
The post reports a completed reset, but it does not verify the allowance shown in each account. It does not list individual plan allowances or state when another reset will happen. Its wording should not be read as proof that every account received a refill.
The Codex usage guidance also cautions against assuming identical limits or synchronized resets across accounts. A banked reset credit is something the account holder chooses when to use; it is not an immediate refill. The announcement does not describe this event as a banked credit.
Check your own account

Related earlier announcement
An earlier post on 2026-05-16 said two issues had been fixed that could explain reduced GPT-5.5 capability in Codex. It said monitoring would continue and promised a usage-limit reset “this evening.” The later announcement reported that usage limits had been reset across all paid plans.
