What a banked reset can mean

A banked reset is different from a normal personal countdown. OpenAI’s current Codex guidance says a full banked reset resets both the 5-hour and weekly usage windows. Eligibility, availability and the account UI remain the source of truth for an individual user. Read OpenAI’s Codex plan guidance.
