Users slam Codex 'reset culture': paid subscribers hoard usage waiting for free resets
TheMoonMidas · x · 2026-09-20
Users are criticizing OpenAI Codex's 'reset culture': subscribers sit at 0% usage guessing when the next free reset drops, and change how they use Codex for fear of wasting potential usage — even after paying.
The proposal: give every plan a predictable usage bucket that regenerates a few times a day; if the platform wants to give free compute, add it to everyone's meter. No weird resets, no guessing, no 'did I waste my usage?'
