dob312 · reddit · 2026-08-30
A user logged every public, extra Codex limit reset from OpenAI since September 2025 (excluding standard plan refills). The data reveals a significant acceleration in frequency:
- Trend: 32 resets in 347 days, averaging one every 10.8 days.
- Acceleration: 16 in the last 90 days (every 5.6 days) and 7 in the last 30 (every 4.3 days), making the current pace about 2.5x faster than the long-term average.
- Timing: No strong weekly pattern (e.g., not always Friday); median gap is 7 days.
The author estimates a 33% chance of a new reset within any 48-hour window.
