OpenAI resets Codex limits during usage-drain investigation

OpenAI gives every Codex user an immediate full reset while it investigates abnormal usage-limit depletion.

Event details

The reset compensated users before OpenAI had fully identified the root cause, making it a short-term incident-response measure rather than a product change.

Why it matters

The reset briefly changes available usage across the full Codex user base but has limited technical or long-term impact.

49/100Global significance score. Regional effects are recorded only when the evidence supports a meaningful difference.

Access notes

Applies to all Codex users; previously saved banked resets remain intact.
