Codex September 7 Global Reset: What Changed
OpenAI says its September 7 reset applied immediately to eligible Plus, Pro, and Business users and was not a saved banked reset.
OpenAI’s Help Center says that on September 7, 2026 it provided a global reset to Plus, Pro, and Business users. The article says this reset applied immediately to eligible usage limits and did not appear as a banked reset.
That distinction matters because the September 3 and September 4 offers described in the same article were banked resets: a one-time reset saved to an account until it was used or expired. A global or automatic reset is applied directly and cannot be saved for later. The two kinds of reset should not be combined into one account balance or treated as interchangeable credits.
To check what happened for your account, open Settings → Usage in the desktop app, CLI, or web and confirm the account or workspace. A banked reset appears as an available reset and requires you to select and confirm it; the Help Center says a full banked reset refreshes the five-hour and weekly Codex windows. If the dashboard has not updated, refresh it before contacting Support.
The article leaves eligibility, affected limits, timing, and expiration dependent on plan, workspace, region, and the specific offer. This record therefore does not promise that every reader received the September 7 reset or that a missing reset can be replaced. It also does not treat a reset as API credits or a permanent increase to a plan limit.
