Banked resets are reset opportunities stored in an eligible account. Historic drops accompanied milestones and rollouts; current inventory and expiry live in the Usage Dashboard.
OpenAI says a full banked reset refreshes both the five-hour and weekly allowances and changes the weekly reset date. Read the new date in the confirmation before redeeming.
The radar describes public event history; it cannot see your allowance and should not decide redemption timing. Current headroom, expiry and delivery deadlines matter more.
Three keywords define them: official offer, expiry and manual redemption. They do not transfer between accounts.
FAQFAQ
Banked resets vs announced resets — what's the difference?
An announced reset follows that source's stated scope and action. A banked reset is a redeemable option in an eligible account. Do not assume every event covers every paid plan.
Where can I see every banked drop?
This hub lists all banked-type events below (2026-07-12, 08-21, 09-03, 09-05), each with its own event page carrying the original announcement and context.
Do credits expire? What then?
Yes — they're meant for short crunch periods, and unused credits lapse. If credits vanish from your account, they most likely expired or were already redeemed; there's no official path to restore expired ones.
