What is a banked Codex reset, and what happens when I use it?
A banked reset is a one-time reset saved to your account until you use it or it expires. Using a full banked reset refreshes eligible Codex usage windows and changes your weekly reset date.
What matters
- It is not a transferable credit balance.
- OpenAI says a full banked reset can refresh the 5-hour and weekly Codex windows.
- After using it, check Settings → Usage because the weekly reset date changes.
What this means in practice
If your account shows “1 reset available” or “Full reset,” open that usage summary and review the expiration and what it resets before confirming. Do not confuse a banked reset with purchased usage credits.
