Frustrated by hitting OpenAI Codex's weekly usage limits? A new free tool is here to help you predict if a global usage reset is on the way, letting you check the probability right from your terminal.
Hey OpenAI Codex users, if you rely on it heavily, chances are you've hit those weekly usage limits and wondered the same thing everyone does: is a reset coming, or should I just wait it out? The truth is, there are different kinds of 'resets' people often confuse. There are your own account's usage windows, which roll over based on your first request and can be checked with '/status' inside Codex itself. But that's not what we're talking about today.
The exciting news concerns the second kind: global early resets. These happen when OpenAI resets everyone's limits early—sometimes after an incident, a bug that drained usage, or simply a milestone. The catch is, these announcements are usually informal, often posted on platforms like X, with no set schedule or official status page. This is where the codex-reset.com project steps in to help.
This site tracks those announcements, keeping a dated record with original source links. More importantly, it publishes a probability forecast that another global reset will land in the next 24 or 48 hours. All of this information is available as a free JSON API that requires no key, or as an MCP server you can plug directly into Codex. You can easily check the forecast from your terminal with a simple command. You'll get a percentage chance of a global reset within 24 and 48 hours, the model's confidence level, and when the last confirmed reset occurred. Remember, it's a forecast, not a promise; a 20% chance means 'probably not today.' When using the API, please send a User-Agent header that names your project to help the site distinguish real integrations from anonymous scrapers.
