  "textContent": "A rate limit reset doesn’t automatically equate to a good thing. If someone has usage planned out already for the week it might be problematic. From what I noticed, the rate limit didn’t simply reset. The ‘start of week’ reset as well. It would be one thing if the rate reset while the timer didn’t reset to the beginning of the week.\n\nFor example, if someone didn’t use any of their rate for the first 3 days because they knew that they would need all of it for the last 4 days of the week, resetting the rate usage as well as the clock could be a problem.\n\nIf they expected to use all 100% of their usage in those 4 days, but then also anticipated the rate would be reset after that fourth day, then all is well. But, they already had 100% rate left and didn’t need (would not benefit from) a rate reset. Now, they still need to use their 100% weekly rate in, what was, the last 4 days. But now, those last 4 days aren’t really the last 4 days. They are now first 4 days of the week, and the rate usage is completely spent. Once they burn through their allowed rate, they still have 3 days before the next reset, meaning they can’t use Codex for 3 more days.\n\nSo, forced reset != good in all situations, UNLESS you are resetting the rate limit without resetting the timer.",
