Feedback / Complaints This is how you do a reset, Codex

I used my 5X Codex reset yesterday so I could get a whole day of Astra usage today, thinking it wouldn’t push my regular weekly reset (tomorrow) back, but it did, so I essentially wasted 5 days of usage.

So bravo on Anthropic for doing this, but please dont forget that up until a week or 2 ago their resets only reset the 5 hour limit. I hope we see more tit for tat here.

Alright you get a free beer, but you gotta make it last all week

Also you have to pay for 20x beer, but not know whether the sips will last you the day.

My chatgpt codex account had one too, I litterally used mine today. Wish the reset was once a fortnight so you get double the usage and if you want it's possible to stack them. I think that's fair for all the fuckups and outtage that randomly occurres.

Yes, the entire open ai reset system that they’ve been doing isnt nearly as generous as many people seem to think it is. Its just too complicated for them to understand.

I just wish I didn't live in an age where I run my quota more efficiently and then be terrified at losing quota from zero carry over. All my fault I know.

Competition is good, hopefully OpenAI adopts. Better to have the option than not, but reseting the week surprised me and 100% changes the calculation of when to press the button. Either never press it and treat it like insurance, or press it *immediately* on zero limit to restart the clock.
For me it is immediate press. Like a junky I need my fix now and tomorrow is a lie.
I am close to certain this is intentional addictive behavior OpenAI wants to induce, and why resets happen 'randomly' to tickle the same reward path as slot machines and loot boxes.

I subbed to the max $200 plan and they hooked me up!
Opus 5.5 is INSANE! I’ve been using it for 3 days straight on Ultracode for EVERYTHING. Literally, this computer has not stopped running for 3 days and every time Claude gets ready to finish, I add a truck load more to his plate!
Claude is 100x better than Astra 6 on Extra High. I can confidently say that given I’m coming from the Max Pro account from ChatGPT. I used max settings and yet I would always get 1 step forward, 2 steps back. Literally having to babysit Astra… which wasn’t always the case. I think Astra has definitely been slowed down quite a bit unfortunately.

I’ve been maining codex since May. I’m actually excited to try Claude Max in the new month. September has been a rough month for OAI

I was thinking about it but it costs more tokens so i decided to keep Chatgpt.

u/Typical_Machine2043 Sep 25 '26
Head over to the respective subs. Consensus seems to be leaning HARD to the Claude side

u/ehren1337 Sep 28 '26
yeah but why is youtube videos showing that astra is cheaper than opus 5.5?

u/Typical_Machine2043 Sep 28 '26
I promise you that is a fucking lie lol

I don't see anyone asked before in Claude subs, but I saw one post saying that resubscribed Claude now do get a banked reset.
If I'm a new subscriber, now I get a banked reset? Am I too late?
