❯ USAGE WINDOWS
How Codex usage limits work
Your Codex client is the source of truth for your account. A public reset dashboard can describe observed global patterns, but it cannot see or predict an individual account’s remaining allowance.
Personal windows are not a universal clock
Usage limits can depend on your plan, product surface, account activity, and policy changes. Short rolling windows and longer allowance windows may operate at the same time. The remaining percentage and reset information shown in your own Codex product are the authoritative view for your account.
What a global reset means
Occasionally, a provider may change or restore usage capacity for a broader group of people. Those events are different from the normal timing of a personal rolling window. They are not guaranteed, do not follow a public schedule, and may not apply to every account in the same way.
How to use this information
- Use your own client status for immediate capacity decisions.
- Use a global forecast only as a planning signal for non-urgent work.
- Keep critical work independent of any predicted reset.
