Usage limits and resets, answered
Every answer links to the official docs or our long-running reset records. No guesswork.
Timing
When do limits reset? In what time zone? How far apart are resets?
How does the countdown work when only a date or a range is announced?
The countdown runs to the start of the announced range, with the full range shown alongside. With no date announced, there's no countdown.
Why doesn't this site show a public reset countdown for Grok?
Grok counts subscription, web and API limits separately. There's no single reset time for everyone.
How it works
What's a banked reset? How is a global reset different from your rolling window?
What is a banked reset, and how is it different from a regular usage reset?
A banked reset is an extra, separate allowance OpenAI grants on its own initiative. It doesn't affect how your regular usage is counted.
How does Claude Code's rolling 5-hour limit work?
Your Claude reset time depends on your account, plan and usage. You'll find it on the usage page inside Claude.
Is the reset time on my Usage page the same thing as a public reset?
No. Your own reset time comes from your account and usage cycle. A public reset is an extra, broad reset on top of that.
Do ChatGPT Work and Codex share usage limits?
On some plans they share an agentic allowance and credits. Your account and workspace settings show the exact rules.
Is signing in to Codex with ChatGPT billed the same as using an API key?
No. Signing in with ChatGPT uses your ChatGPT plan's limits and billing; an API key is billed at API pricing.
Limits and usage
How much does each plan get? Does a reset stack on top of what you have left?
Can OpenAI Support reset my Codex limits?
No, Support doesn't do manual resets. If your usage count looks wrong or your limits didn't come back on time, open a ticket so they can look into it.
What's the difference between credits, an instant reset and a banked reset?
Credits are a balance you spend once your included usage runs out. An instant reset restores your limits right away. A banked reset is saved for later.
Troubleshooting
Reset time passed but your limits didn't come back? Site says reset but the CLI still errors?
Alerts
How do I get reset alerts I can trust? How do I add them to my calendar?
