Codex 28-day run, day 27: OpenAI's Tibo posts "Banked 1/2" as the first of two saved usage resets lands

At 00:43 UTC on Nov 1, Tibo (@thsottiaux), who works on Codex and ChatGPT at OpenAI, posted "Banked 1/2" on X; the post has about 6,860 likes and 660K views. In his day 26 post the day before he had teased that "next two days will be resets… banked…", so this is day 27 of his 28-day run: the first of two Codex usage resets you can save and use when you choose. According to OpenAI's Help Center, a banked reset does not refresh usage on arrival; you redeem it in desktop Settings > Usage & billing, web Usage settings, or /usage in the CLI. Eligible plans and the expiry for this particular offer have not been published.

Key Takeaways

  • Source: Tibo's own X post "Banked 1/2" (00:43 UTC, Nov 1), with about 6,860 likes, 1,066 replies and 660K views as of 15:10 SGT
  • Context: his day 26 post (about 14K likes) teased "next two days will be resets… banked…", so a second one is expected on day 28
  • Where to redeem: desktop Settings > Usage & billing, web Usage settings, or /usage then Redeem reset in Codex CLI; not available in the mobile app (OpenAI Help Center)
  • Rule: at least one covered allowance must be below 80% remaining; Plus and Business Standard get the 5-hour and weekly allowances back, Pro 100/200/500 the weekly allowance, and Go the monthly allowance
  • Caveat: using one restarts the usage period from that day; eligible plans and the expiry for this offer have not been published, so check your account

Kimi apologizes for K3.1 Pro plan rate limits and wasted quota, gives every subscriber a one-time 25% monthly quota reset and trims subagent calls and output length

At 20:14 UTC on 2026-10-25, Moonshot AI's official account @Kimi_Moonshot (post) acknowledged rate limits and unnecessary quota consumption on the K3.1 Pro subscription plan, saying "these were our issues, and we should have fixed them sooner." Every subscriber on every plan gets a one-time usage reset that restores 25% of their monthly quota (usage below 25% resets to zero), equal to about one week of usage; usage bars update by end of day PST. Kimi also adjusted the plan's parameters and is cutting unnecessary subagent calls and output length so quota lasts longer.

Key Takeaways

  • Compensation: a one-time 25% monthly quota restore, about 1 week of usage (official post)
  • Users below 25% usage are reset to zero; applies to every subscription plan
  • Timing: usage bars update by end of day PST on Oct 25 (about 15:00 SGT on Oct 26)
  • Fix direction: fewer unnecessary subagent calls, shorter outputs and adjusted plan parameters
  • Context: K3.1 Pro launched Oct 23 with API pricing of $2/$10 per million tokens (vendor figures)

Codex kicks off "28 days of improvements or a full reset": Day 1 makes GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol ~50% faster by default, including OpenCode, Pi, Amp and Devin via Sign in with ChatGPT

On Oct 5, Codex lead Thibault "Tibo" Sottiaux committed that for the next 28 days OpenAI will ship one clear improvement for most Codex/ChatGPT Work users each day, or give everyone a full usage reset. Day 1 is an inference speedup: GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol are ~50% faster by default on subscriptions (roughly 30 to 50 tokens/s), including partner tools using Sign in with ChatGPT. No API speed change was announced.

Key Takeaways

  • 28-day pledge: each day either one clear improvement or a full usage reset for everyone (OpenAI Developer Community thread)
  • Day 1: GPT-6 Astra / GPT-6.1 Sol default speed ~+50%; Tibo cited roughly 30 to 50 tokens/s (closer to +67% if exact; both called approximate)
  • Scope: OpenAI products plus every Sign in with ChatGPT partner (OpenCode, Pi, Amp, Devin), no config change, live within ~2 hours
  • Subscription path only; no API speed change announced, so API-billed evals are unaffected
  • One community user reported slower 6.1 Sol runs on a private benchmark after the change; unverified single data point
