Programmer wakes wife at 3 AM after OpenAI's surprise Codex rate-limit reset

After an unexpected Codex outage, OpenAI reset everyone's rate limits — and Reddit user ShaySolomon woke his wife at 3 AM with the news. She sprang out of bed without hesitation ('Wait, I'm at 70%') and started accepting diffs in the dark.
The post became a relatable snapshot of how AI power users now treat LLM quota resets like emergency stock market crashes. 'We used to have normal human hobbies,' the author jokes, 'send help.'
