Codex vs Claude vs Gemini usage limits compared

Compare documented five-hour and weekly usage windows for Codex, Claude and Gemini, what the sources leave unspecified, and where to check your account’s reset time.

Updated Oct 30, 2026

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.

Codex, Claude and Gemini document five-hour usage windows, but their weekly rules and scope differ. Codex documents five-hour allowances with weekly limits that may also apply; Claude’s documented Pro rules combine a five-hour session window with an account-assigned weekly reset; Gemini Apps describes compute-based allowances that refresh every five hours until the weekly limit is reached. Matching window lengths do not establish matching allowances or account reset times. See the Codex documentation, Claude Pro documentation and Gemini Apps documentation.

Documented windows, side by side

  • Codex with ChatGPT subscription: The documented session window is 5 hours, and the weekly window is 168 hours. Usage depends on the model and task; weekly limits may also apply. The documentation directs you to your account for its actual reset time. Source
  • Claude Pro: The documented session window is 5 hours, with a 168-hour weekly window and an account-assigned weekly reset time. Claude surfaces share the allowance. Subscription windows and Claude API credits are separate. Source
  • Gemini Apps for personal Google accounts: The documented windows are 5 hours and 168 hours. Limits are compute-based, with five-hour refreshes until the weekly limit is reached. Model and feature limits vary. Work and school usage is separately governed. Source

The practical distinction is how each source describes consumption and scope. Codex ties usage to model and task. Claude’s cited rules concern Pro and shared allowance across Claude surfaces. Gemini Apps describes compute-based consumption for personal accounts. These descriptions do not supply a common message allowance for comparing the products.

What the sources do not document

A shared reset schedule: The Codex source does not establish identical limits or globally synchronized resets. Claude’s weekly reset must not be inferred from the subscription start or the next message. Gemini Apps must not be described as universally resetting daily. A window’s duration does not give your account’s reset clock time. Codex, Claude, Gemini

A fixed message comparison: The Claude documentation does not justify fixed message counts. Codex usage depends on model and task, while Gemini model and feature limits vary. The supplied sources do not establish a uniform message budget across these products. Codex, Claude, Gemini

A documented Gemini account reset URL: The supplied Gemini source links to the app, but does not identify a dedicated Usage page URL or establish a publicly readable consumer-account reset endpoint. Its personal-account scope also does not establish work or school rules. Source

How to check your own reset time

  • Codex: Open your Codex Usage page and check the reset time shown for your account. Public service status describes product health, not your remaining allowance.
  • Claude: Open your Claude Usage page and check the account-assigned reset time. Do not calculate the weekly reset from when you subscribed or sent a message.
  • Gemini: Open Gemini Apps and check your own account’s usage information. The cited source does not specify a dedicated Usage page location or establish that an exact reset time is displayed there.

WhenReset has no access to anyone’s account data and no connection to anyone’s account. Check your own Usage page for your own reset time where the product provides it. Any labelled WhenReset estimate is an estimate. Your account’s allowance and reset time must be checked within the product.

Questions

Do Codex, Claude and Gemini reset on the same schedule?

Their cited sources document five-hour and weekly windows, but do not establish synchronized account resets. Codex weekly limits may apply, Claude Pro has an account-assigned weekly reset, and Gemini Apps refreshes five-hour allowances until the weekly limit is reached.

Does Gemini Apps have a daily usage reset?

The cited personal-account documentation describes compute-based five-hour and weekly allowances. It does not support describing Gemini Apps as universally resetting daily.

Where can I see my own reset time?

Check your Codex or Claude Usage page. For Gemini, check your account’s usage information in the app; the supplied source does not identify a dedicated Usage page URL or confirm an exact reset-time display. WhenReset has no account access or account connections.
