What happened
The 2026-08-24 update said the Codex reset had propagated to accounts and that fixes for usage issues identified the previous day had been implemented. The author said users should feel a positive difference.
Who it applies to
The 2026-08-23 announcement had promised a full reset of Codex usage for all paid subscriptions as part of planned fixes. The follow-up reports propagation, but does not repeat that scope or provide account-by-account confirmation.
The update does not specify each account’s reset time, which allowance windows were affected, or which previously identified issues were fixed. It does not establish that every account received a reset or that accounts share a reset schedule.
Check your own account
Open your own Codex Usage page and check the reset time shown for your account. Usage depends on the model and task, and weekly limits may also apply.

Earlier announcements
The 2026-08-23 announcement identified usage inefficiencies involving images in long sessions with multiple compactions, Computer History, and conversation-title generation. It paired planned fixes with the full usage reset for paid subscriptions.
Separately, the 2026-08-21 announcement promised a banked reset for all paid users of ChatGPT Work and Codex. A banked reset is a credit the account holder chooses when to use; its announcement does not establish an immediate refill.
