OpenAI engineering lead Tibo Sottiaux has driven repeated discretionary resets of Codex weekly usage limits for paid ChatGPT Work and Codex subscribers in late August and early September 2026, most recently on September 5 to mark the ahead-of-schedule rollout of GPT-6 Astra and again around August 31 to celebrate 25 million active users. These actions address excessive token consumption from background features such as auto-review, subagent retries, image compaction, and goal loops in the large language model, alongside fixes that improved usage reporting and introduced banked resets as compensation for access delays or outages. The moves reflect high demand on compute resources while OpenAI balances the return of shorter 5-hour caps with generous weekly allowances for Plus, Pro, and Business plans. Traders are monitoring upcoming Astra availability expansions, CLI updates, and any further milestone-driven or bug-related announcements that could trigger additional resets before standard weekly rollovers.

A qualifying reset is a discretionary, non-scheduled action by OpenAI that, ahead of the normal reset schedule, either zeroes or refills the weekly or generally applicable usage allowance for paid Codex or ChatGPT Work subscription users, or grants those users a reset that OpenAI characterizes as a banked or redeemable rate-limit reset, regardless of whether or when individual users redeem it. A reset will still qualify if certain models with separate usage limits, certain plans, or some users are not covered due to technical exceptions, phased rollout, or plan differences.
Normal scheduled resets, resets granted only to individually selected users or accounts, temporary limit increases, additional usage or credits that do not refill existing allowances, and changes to pricing, plans, or usage caps will not qualify. Resets of OpenAI API rate limits or organizational usage tiers will also not qualify.
Only qualifying resets announced or initiated after the creation of this market will be considered.
An official announcement stating that OpenAI has reset, is resetting, or will reset the limits on the same date as the announcement will qualify if published within the market's timeframe, regardless of when the technical reset begins or is completed. Qualifying announcements include X posts by official OpenAI accounts or OpenAI employees authorized to announce Codex usage changes, for example: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2042296046009626989 and https://x.com/sama/status/2041658719839383945.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official communications from OpenAI, including X posts published by @OpenAI, @OpenAIDevs, @sama, @thsottiaux, or any other OpenAI-operated account, as well as official OpenAI blog posts, changelogs, and in-product notices. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
