What happened
On 2026-08-27, the source announcement said usage had been reset for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users. It described “brand new usage” and presented the reset as completed.
That is the announcement’s stated scope. It is not account-level evidence that every account received a refill.
What the source does not say
The announcement does not specify the amount restored, which usage windows were affected, or when another reset will happen. It also does not provide individual account reset times.
The Codex usage guidance says usage depends on the model and task. Do not assume identical allowances or synchronized reset times across accounts.
Check your own account
- Open your own Usage page.
- Check the allowance and reset time shown for your account.
- If you want a personal timer, enter the time from that page yourself.
WhenReset records source-backed reset announcements. WhenReset has no access to user accounts and makes no account connections. Personal timer details are entered by you and stored in your browser.
Related earlier announcements
- On 2026-08-23, an earlier announcement said a full Codex usage reset for all paid subscriptions was planned for “tomorrow” as part of fixes. That was a statement of intent; the source does not establish that the later announcement fulfilled that specific plan.
- On 2026-08-21, a banked-reset announcement said a banked reset would be made available to all paid users of ChatGPT Work and Codex. A banked reset is a credit the account holder chooses when to use, rather than evidence of an immediate refill.
