Original announcement
“We have reset everyone's limits for gpt-5-codex to allow you all to benefit more from it today and as a way to make up for the slowdowns earlier while we were provisioning additional GPUs. We'll continue to add capacity throughout the week to maintain the speed. Enjoy!”— @thsottiaux on X ↗

EffectThe reset propagated across all paid accounts and quotas were refilled.
The era: Launch eraCONTEXT
GPT-5-Codex had just landed, and global resets were launch support: onboarding gifts timed to the new model rather than a rhythm. The archive begins with the first tracked reset on September 17, 2025.
In the full sequence, this is event #1 of 1 in the "Launch era"; 50 days later, the next reset landed on schedule on 2025-11-05. Announced on a Wednesday, opening the archive — those numbers together are this event's coordinates on the timeline.
What it means for youTAKEAWAY
Routine resets historically average about 6.9 days apart, but the spread is wide — back-to-back days to two-week gaps. Watching the radar beats counting days.As the archive's first event it has no gap to speak of — but from here on, "a reset can land anytime" became part of a Codex user's daily background.
FAQCOMMON QUESTIONS
What was the Codex global reset on September 17, 2025 (Wednesday)?
On September 17, 2025 (Wednesday), the OpenAI Codex team announced a global usage reset — reset #1 of 53 in the archive, part of the "Launch era". Usage across all paid plans (Plus / Pro / Business) was wiped and refilled automatically.
Do I need to do anything to get this refill?
Nothing at all. Global resets apply at the account level: quotas refill automatically once the announcement lands (this was reset #1, null days after the previous one, in the Launch era). Banked reset credits are the only exception — those are redeemed manually.
When was the next global reset after this one?
The archive has the exact answer: the next reset landed on 2025-11-05, 50 days later. That's the unique value of these event pages — the "what happened next" that people at the time couldn't know. For the future, use the homepage radar's projection instead.
