    TLDR

    Tibo, an OpenAI Codex engineer, posted that his team investigated reports of varying usage limits. Many affected accounts turned out to be using sub2api to convert ChatGPT subscriptions into API traffic for reselling or sharing. In a separate post he stated that Codex reached 20 million active users during the week. To mark the milestone OpenAI credited every Codex and ChatGPT Work user with a banked reset usable at their own pace. Several users replied about token consumption or the value of the reset.

    @thsottiauxWe've investigated a few messages about codex usage limits being different. That's not something we change without engaging the community and being transparent. What we did see is that when talking to affected users many were using sub2api. Converting a subscription into api traffic to then re-serve or share across many users is not something we support and this type of usage gets flagged by our fraud-prevention systems. You are completely fine if you use your subscription through Sign in With ChatGPT, either through the official clients or through one of the many OSS clients (Pi, OpenCode, ...) that support signing in with your account and using your included usage.
    @andersonbcdefg@thsottiaux i only use in codex and it has been burning much much faster since 5.6 even on medium. only staying alive cause of resets tbh
    @kimmonismusWe would have gotten a reset for that in the past. Whatever happened to Tibo...
    @theoWe all just got a banked reset 🫡
    @reach_vbBanked RESET for all ChatGPT Work & Codex users! Just in time for the weekend & use it wisely!
    @romainhuetMore than 20M of you are now using Codex! 🤯 So exciting to see so many people building with agents, and we’re just getting started. Enjoy Tibo’s banked reset and make something great!
    @yacineMTB@thsottiaux i avoid goal mode because it is a token guzzler
    @everyThank goodness because guess who needs it...
    @danshipperRT @every: Thank goodness because guess who needs it...
