ChatGPT full resets are worth ~$5,000 each in API equivalents, user reveals
Big_Muz · reddit · 2026-10-12
A Reddit user found 3 unused "full resets" in his ChatGPT account and asks whether they carry over if he upgrades plans — OpenAI offers no documentation. He also recounts a consulting client burning 4.2B tokens in three weeks through his Slack bot, consuming 5 full resets worth roughly $5,000 each in API rate equivalents. The post sheds light on the little-known reset mechanism and the huge gap between subscription limits and API pricing.
