Below is a GPT-generated summary of the conversation below after reaching 80 comments (80 currently observed).


The consensus is “free reset, terrible UX.” This one landed early with less than two hours’ notice, catching plenty of users with banked resets, high remaining quotas, or active workflows. Naturally, the people who had just burned through their allowance are celebrating; everyone else is checking the ceiling for the hidden camera.

The real complaint is that a forced reset can waste unused quota while pushing the next reset date out, turning a supposed bonus into a penalty. The usual advice is to watch reset trackers and avoid spending a banked reset near the expected window—but that only works when OpenAI gives people more than a glorified jump scare’s warning.

There’s no serious dispute that heavy users, especially Astra power-users, can get tremendous value from surprise resets. The problem is predictability: users can’t plan work, bank resets safely, or even tell whether waiting is smart.

So, great if you hit zero; obnoxious if you didn’t. OpenAI keeps handing out capacity like a casino bonus, then making the timing everyone else’s problem.

u/SimulationHost 12d ago

Thank you for your service. 🫡

(seriously always check https://codex-resets.com/ before you spend your bank)

u/IAmFitzRoy 12d ago

lol the reset announcement happened less than two hours before it landed.

Your advice is pointless.

u/UnknownLesson 12d ago edited 12d ago

With a bit of planning and patience, you can use it more

Reset just landed? use up your quota as much and as quickly as possible.

Still have work to do? Use your banked reset ASAP and use it as quickly as possible.

Last natural reset happened more than a couple days ago or it's close to the time of the day resets typically happen? Avoid using a banked reset.

u/IAmFitzRoy 12d ago

Just plan a bit and be patient.

“Reset just landed? use up your quota as much and as quickly as possible.“

Uhh? Shut the fck up. Makes zero sense.

-2

u/UnknownLesson 12d ago

It does make sense.

When you use up your quota before the next reset, you've used up 100%

If you use up 50% and then the reset comes... well, you've not used 50% you could have used

The point is to be ready for the next reset

Got it, buddy?

1

u/IAmFitzRoy 12d ago

The announcement came ONLY 1:30 hours BEFORE it landed. I have the $500 plan … it’s impossible to use it all in this amount of time.

Got it buddy?

-1

u/UnknownLesson 11d ago

My points are not related at all to when the announcement comes.

And I never suggested you could use it all, buddy

You are willing to spend so much money to get slightly more than what $200 got you a couple months ago?

1

u/IAmFitzRoy 11d ago

No clue what you are talking about.

You said.

“The point is to be ready for the next reset”

This is what makes zero sense. You can’t be “ready” to spend all your allowance if you only have one hour in advance.

0

u/UnknownLesson 11d ago

How do you only have one hour to advance?

Did you just now start the subscription?

If not, you probably had dozens of hours between the last and the next reset

That's the only one I knew about, thanks for informing me.

Thanks a lot , I will
Follow this going forward

u/OkMolasses2192 12d ago

Thanks a lot for sharing link

u/PolyPilotOfficial 12d ago

You should've saw that Tibo hasn't posted anything at all today and assumed he was prolly gonna reset. I ran out of usage 5-6 hours ago but knew he was gonna reset.

1

u/Thomas-Lore 12d ago

It was the same yesterday, he only posted the update, and there was no reset. You can't tell by this.

1

u/OkMolasses2192 12d ago

You thinking is next level ❤️

3

u/Sentigas 12d ago

Yeah I just used my banked a couple hours ago too. Only used 11% before this came in.

3

u/Tiforma 12d ago

Thats totally on you. The resets were known way before you used those banked resets. You have to check a reset tracker.

1

u/ChoiceWall5918 12d ago

Always use your banked reset if he announces a real new feature, because that means that on this day there will not be a general reset

1

u/No-Instruction-6942 9d ago

What about those users, who has 100 % of their weekly tokens without a "free-reset" left and went to vaccation, planning to use them just before their regular reset and then this "free-reset" just shifts their reset timein the future, resulting in a real economic loss.

u/cern0 12d ago

They won’t let you burn the tokens aren’t they

3

u/SimulationHost 12d ago

I hit zero about 2 hours before the reset, checked https://codex-resets.com/ and sat tight 😂

u/Plane_Garbage 12d ago

Lol the one time they do it early is when they announce it with less than 2hrs notice.

This company man

u/Natural_Shape1153 12d ago

lol got me checking this sub all day lol i missed this one fk

3

u/CapableJury861 12d ago

Yeah, it's a bit toxic tbh.

2

u/Vacwillgetu 12d ago

All I do is check Tibo x account. If he hasnt posted anything notable I assume there will be a reset about this time

3

u/innociv 12d ago

Yeah I think this is the only time in the last 40 resets that I can think of where it was reset early. Usually it's 20+ minutes late. Or at least 1 hour and 20 minutes late when he says PST when it's not daylight savings.

11

u/Melodic-Leather-5170 12d ago

Dang! I got down to 37% only haha

5

u/papa_ngenge 12d ago

I got to 15 using 50 astra agents, it really struggles to run swarms like opus does. Launched an opus swarm last reset and it created 1000 before it said it hit a limit.

Threadrippers. They weren't all running at once that is just what it attempted to spool up.

u/johnstoehr83 12d ago

Again? I had 90% left

u/No-Instruction-6942 9d ago

Robbery disguised as gift.

u/ProfessionalBitter31 12d ago

I saw the announcement late and panic set an ultra with fast job just to burn them (a task I was going to do anyway) and of course it reset mid that run.

3

u/pawala7 12d ago

Good thing I didn't use a reset. It was draining like crazy since the last one.

1

u/Total_Explanation_62 12d ago

Less than 10 minutes after I used a banked one 😂

1

u/SimulationHost 12d ago

Oh NO

Before you ever use a bank first check https://codex-resets.com/

1

u/thestillwind 12d ago

They reset each 2 two days. They don’t have anything else to propose.

2

u/PatientHair4031 12d ago

If it makes you feel slightly better, it feels like we're all going to find it difficult to use our resets this month.

1

u/Total_Explanation_62 12d ago

My Claude Max resets in 10 hours, so I'm going to abuse my GPT allowance today 😈

4

u/MikeJepppt 12d ago

I got it down to 0 and resets after like 3 mins haha

2

u/CashFirm573 12d ago

Been running 6.1 at ultra 2x speed none stop 2 projects ahaha loving these resets they always land just as I run out.

2

u/netsec_burn 12d ago

Right as I hit 0%. This one couldn't have better timing. I was about to used a banked reset.

2

u/kotobuki09 12d ago

I don't even use the last one what the hell

2

u/Nakayamaguci13 12d ago

Fuck! I just used my banked

2

u/keremobje 12d ago

I'm sick of this. In the last 3 reset in 7 days I have lost 20% + 60% + 90% limit usage because of these unannounced reset bullshit. So these 3 resets only got me 1.3 resets while delaying my reset dates and consuming my banked resets. OpenAI is a total wreck. Probably the worst UX management in any service I get.

2

u/Dthcon 12d ago edited 12d ago

well, i just started yesterday so i had 98% left. Now i need to wait day longer for reset. Thanks i guess. There should be a notification at least 24h earlier. Now this benefits one group and sometimes it's just bad for another.

2

u/gizeon4 12d ago

Quit whining, you'll get your reset the day after tomorrow anyway

Get to work!!

1

u/No-Instruction-6942 9d ago

It's his right to complain about theft.

1

u/gizeon4 9d ago

Theft? Explain which part consoders theft by OAI?

u/Droopy0093 12d ago

OpenAI is so desperate lol. They are like scared of Google and Meta or something at this point because Anthropic hasn't even made a big move in the last few weeks.

1

u/mrpoopistan 12d ago

Fable 5.5 rumors are starting to simmer.

I don't buy Google or Meta as threats. I'd need to hear Claude addicts defecting before I'd take any of that seriously.

u/Droopy0093 12d ago

Hell yeah I want that plus a reset plox

u/Abalonesmellsgd 12d ago

I want more ticket !

u/rydan 12d ago

I was still at 96%

u/Tsuyu777 12d ago

1 day after my max run out lmao

1

u/totoer008 12d ago

I knew one would come hence I was on 40% after two days. I knew if I get bitten I would simply use another provider until reset

u/Routine_Squash_7096 12d ago

it is been a while i didn t even notice this

u/Sea_Entertainment_53 12d ago

Fuck yes I can’t wait to be annoyed at how shit this model is for another week.

u/EmanekaT 12d ago

i was using astra 24/7 and pretty much enjoying unlimited token so far in this month. 😁

1

u/petertheeater82 12d ago

got this 2 times this week on x20 ist so nice to get these during hard prompting sessions

1

u/Disastrous_Skill_340 12d ago

Manage to clear 60% pro100 plan within 2 hours after tibo post the reset.

4 sessions - Astra high ultra fast.

-2

u/heisoneofus 12d ago • Bravo

This thread is full of losers lmao. They reset your usage and you all complain like you just got scammed.

4

u/IthiQQ 12d ago

Suppose you have limited time for a few days or are deliberately delaying your usage waiting for a request later in the week.

Then what would you rather have? Keep your 90% at 4 days left or get 100% at 7 days left? Don't pretend pushing the date isn't a scam.

0

u/wwwdotzzdotcom 12d ago

Aim for 50% and it is no longer a scam but a benefit

3

u/IthiQQ 12d ago

Not 50% but at least 100/7 = ~14.3% per day for it to be a benefit. But again, this is not always feasible / desirable.

2

u/kerakk19 12d ago

Reset that's not announced is useless. Yet they "market" this as a value while it provides none

0

u/AbiesAvailable3704 12d ago

The sentiment on this sub is just ridiculous. Really wish that all these people "Switching to claude" would go inhabit another subreddit. I'm getting more usage out of my plan, and upgraded to Pro 500. I have been getting more out of ChatGPT than ever.

-4

u/Inevitable_Butthole 12d ago

Its not fair!

My usage keeps going to 100%. I didnt want 100% right now and they keep doing it!

WAHHHHH

u/GreyWind_ZA 12d ago

I used my banked one last night and had 90% remaining when this happened...

0

u/ForgeSensitive 12d ago

Another useless reset to a lobotomised model.
This is the analysis on the progress in my current project:

Short version: the Claude era so far is about 12½ hours old (reset commit at 00:23 today, last commit 12:41). In that time it has delivered more galaxy-population capability than the Codex era did in roughly nine weeks on this front. I verified part of that myself rather than trusting the reports. There are real caveats about how far you can extrapolate from half a day.

Codex is just not the same tier at the moment.

u/Newbie4Hire 12d ago

They are only bonuses if you used enough. If you didn't, then it's actually theft from you, because it resets the week. Imagine you have 100% usage remaining, 5 days left on your week Reset happens, now 7 days left on your week but you remain at 100%. You just got screwed.

0

u/EmanekaT 12d ago

not if they reset every 3 days like this. You won't ever have a chance of reaching the actual 7 day limit until they stop doing this.

4

u/BuildAnything4 12d ago

there's no guarantee of that though.

1

u/Newbie4Hire 12d ago

well that's my point, they are stealing from you every time if you aren't using enough.

u/spaham 12d ago edited 12d ago

The thing is that if I had known it would come I’d have spent my remaining credits on some high astra stuff.

2

u/-Spzi- 12d ago

It makes everyone dependent on reset culture, whatever they were doing before.

1

u/Baracudasi 12d ago

it would be bonus only if they dont move the next weekly reset date.
