OpenAI

Codex usage resets

Codex meters usage with an account-specific 5-hour window plus a plan-dependent weekly limit. OpenAI suspended the 5-hour limit for paid plans on July 12, 2026 and brought it back for Plus on August 25, 2026; Plus and Standard Business now have both windows, while Pro plans currently have only the weekly limit. Exact reset times are reported by your account, not by a universal public clock.

Codex and ChatGPT Work share the same usage pool. Copy the next reset shown for your account.

Sources and methodology

Codex and Claude plan rules were checked against official provider documentation on October 13, 2026, and the bonus reset archives were reviewed on October 25, 2026. Allowances and labels can change. The provider's own usage screen is authoritative for your account.

Public Codex announcements are refreshed hourly from the credited feed at codex-resets.com. The reviewed in-repo archive is used if that feed is unavailable. Anthropic does not publish a unified Claude bonus-reset feed, so the Claude archive is manually reviewed from official Anthropic, Claude, and staff announcements. AI Wiki publishes this archive as open data (CC BY 4.0) at /tools/limit_resets/claude-resets.json. Each timeline entry links to its source. AI Wiki is not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic, X, Reddit, or codex-resets.com.

Explainer

How AI usage limits work

Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic publishes a universal reset clock. Both meter subscriptions with account-specific windows: a short session window measured in hours plus, on most paid plans, a weekly cap. Your account's own usage screen is the only authoritative source for your next reset time, which is why this tracker asks you to copy the time your provider shows you instead of guessing it.

For Claude and Claude Code, every plan meters sessions on a rolling 5-hour window. Anthropic's help center once described that window as starting with your first message; its current pages say only that the session limit resets every five hours. Paid plans add weekly limits that reset at a fixed time each week assigned to your account, and Max plans carry a separate weekly limit for Fable models. Both appear in Settings > Usage on claude.ai or by running /usage in Claude Code. Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork all draw from the same subscription allowance.

OpenAI Codex meters usage the same way: local messages and cloud tasks share an account-specific 5-hour window, a plan-dependent weekly limit sits on top, and ChatGPT Work draws from the same pool. OpenAI suspended the 5-hour limit for paid plans on July 12, 2026 and restored it for Plus on August 25, 2026. Plus and Standard Business accounts now have both windows, while Pro plans currently have no 5-hour limit, so the weekly limit is the only one Pro subscribers need to watch. Exact reset times come from the Codex usage screen or the /status command in the Codex CLI.

Outside those routine renewals, both companies sometimes reset everyone's windows early or grant temporary boosts: after incidents that consumed usage unfairly, alongside model launches, or as limited-time promotions. Those announcements are what the histories above archive, each entry linked to its original source. For the full encyclopedic treatment, including API rate limits and how other providers such as Gemini and GitHub Copilot handle resets, read the AI usage limits article.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When do Claude usage limits reset?

Claude has two windows. Every plan uses a session allowance on a rolling 5-hour window, and paid plans add weekly limits that reset at a fixed time each week assigned to your account; Max plans also have a separate weekly limit for Fable models. Anthropic's current help pages say the session limit resets every five hours but no longer spell out when a window starts. Claude shows your exact reset times in Settings > Usage on claude.ai, and Claude Code shows them with the /usage command. Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork draw from the same subscription allowance.

When do Codex usage limits reset?

Codex meters usage in an account-specific 5-hour window shared by local messages and cloud tasks, with a plan-dependent weekly limit on top; ChatGPT Work draws from the same pool. OpenAI suspended the 5-hour limit for Plus, Business, and Pro on July 12, 2026 and brought it back for Plus on August 25, 2026. Plus and Standard Business now have both windows, while Pro plans currently have no 5-hour limit and only the weekly limit applies. Reset times are reported per account: run /status in the Codex CLI or open the usage screen in Codex settings. Using a banked or purchased reset changes your weekly reset date.

What is a banked reset?

A banked reset is a stored full usage reset that OpenAI credits to Codex accounts to celebrate milestones and launches, as an apology after incidents, or as a referral reward on some Plus and Pro promotions. It sits on the account until you redeem it from the usage summary in the profile menu, and it can carry an expiration date. Using it refreshes both the 5-hour and weekly Codex windows and changes your weekly reset date. The Codex history on this page tags those announcements as banked resets.

Do these limits apply to API keys?

No. API access is metered separately with rate limits, such as requests and tokens per minute that scale with usage tiers, and it is billed per token from prepaid credits or invoices. The 5-hour and weekly windows tracked on this page apply to subscription plans used through the apps, the web interfaces, Claude Code, and Codex.

Why do providers reset limits outside the normal schedule?

Four reasons dominate the archived announcements: recovery after bugs or incidents that consumed usage unfairly, product launches such as Anthropic resetting all windows when the Claude 5 family shipped in June 2026, user milestones such as OpenAI's resets when Codex passed 15, 20, and 25 million active users, and time-limited promotions such as doubled session usage or increased weekly caps.

Can I buy more usage instead of waiting for a reset?

Often, yes. Claude Pro and Max subscribers can enable usage credits that bill extra usage at standard API rates once included limits run out, and Team or Enterprise owners can enable them for their organizations. OpenAI sells Codex credits to Plus and Pro users, and eligible Plus and Pro personal accounts can also buy an instant reset that restores both Codex windows at once. Credits do not move your reset times, but an instant reset does: OpenAI starts a new weekly period with your next Codex or ChatGPT Work request. Anthropic occasionally grants eligible plans free resets instead, which you apply from Settings > Usage before they expire.

Do Gemini or GitHub Copilot have reset schedules too?

Yes, and some are fixed for everyone. GitHub Copilot's monthly allowance (AI credits, or premium requests on legacy annual plans) resets at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each calendar month, whatever your billing date, and unused credits do not carry over. Gemini API requests-per-day quotas reset at midnight Pacific time and apply per project, not per API key. The fixed-schedule countdowns above track both automatically. The Gemini app works more like Claude: its limit refreshes every 5 hours until you reach a weekly limit. Gemini CLI documents per-day request caps but not a reset time.

Is this tracker connected to my account?

No. Countdown times you enter are stored only in your browser's local storage and never leave your device. AI Wiki has no access to your OpenAI or Anthropic account, and the tool works without signing in to anything.
