Flexible Rate Limit Resets for Codex

Everyone, look at this!

Until recently, the Codex team at OpenAI used to reset the weekly limits for all Codex users either to celebrate major milestones or whenever a major bug was fixed.

Everyone was happy with a rate limit reset.

Really? Everyone?

A group of users who had seriously optimized their Codex usage around their actual needs pointed out that these random gifts could actually be detrimental to their overall usage.

We reported this to the team, and they did it.

You can now reset limits when it fits your usage.

Congratulations, everyone!

Let’s build!

We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time. Starting today, we’re rolling out the ability to save rate limit resets to use later. We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset: pic.x.com/gucyTi04wc
