Codex gave 15 usage resets in ~60 days, equal to +174% extra quota

A Reddit user tallied OpenAI Codex's usage resets over 60 days:
- 11 global resets + 4 banked resets (15 total)
- A normal 60-day window yields only 8.6 full weekly quotas
- Had that capacity simply been part of the plan: 11 global resets ≈ 2.28x normal usage; including banked resets ≈ 2.74x, roughly +174% more usage
The author caveats that not every reset is consumed from 0%, but argues the "Company of Resets™" pattern makes Codex feel like a very different product than its official limits suggest.
