OpenAI to give paid users a banked reset for every day without Astra access
LauraModiano · x · 2026-09-04
OpenAI Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux announced that paid ChatGPT plan users will get one banked reset for every day they can't access Astra, starting immediately — the first lands within 3 hours. The team says it's working "mountain-moving" fast to restore access, and notes there's still time to create an account. A repost quips "We pay until you get to play," underscoring how long the outage has dragged on.
