This reset shipped together with the launch of the $100 plan — billed as the sweet spot. A plan launch plus a global reset is a classic combo in the release rhythm.

Original announcement
“We did it, say hi to the $100 plan! It should be the sweet spot for a ton of you. It comes with a ton of codex usage. And yes we are resetting the limits again too as I mentioned yesterday. Let’s keep building! https://t.co/eX25QBuWqV”— @thsottiaux on X ↗

The era: Growth eraCONTEXT
Announcements in this period paired reset events with 3M weekly users, the $100 plan launch and Codex's first anniversary. These are documented historical contexts, not evidence that a future milestone will trigger a reset.
In the full sequence, this is event #4 of 7 in the "Growth era"; 7 days later, the next reset landed on schedule on 2026-04-17. Announced on a Thursday, 2 days after its predecessor — those numbers together are this event's coordinates on the timeline.
What it means for youTAKEAWAY
Product-node resets usually land on launch day. Think of it as a full tank at gearshift: no action needed.With a very short gap, this sits squarely in a streak — burning quota in such periods had the highest odds of being refilled in the whole archive.
FAQCOMMON QUESTIONS
What was the Codex global reset on April 9, 2026 (Thursday)?
On April 9, 2026 (Thursday), the Codex team posted a product-launch reset announcement — event #16 of 70 in the archive, 2 days after the previous one, part of the "Growth era". the source does not state account scope; eligibility and required action follow the linked source and Usage Dashboard.
Only 2 days after the previous one — are back-to-back resets normal?
Yes. The archive shows several such streaks (this event's era, the "Growth era", alone holds 7 events), typically tied to milestones, launch weeks or incident wrap-ups. Streak periods are also when the radar's SEND-IT advice appears most often.
When was the next global reset after this one?
The archive has the historical answer: the next record landed on 2026-04-17, 7 days later. That is hindsight, not a forecast that was available at the time.
