  "account": "A reporter compiled a comprehensive list of 39 public Codex reset signals, in order to distinguish between fresh and re-shared information. These signals are easy to locate but difficult to apply correctly. When a signal is logged, it often gets re-shared two days later by someone who initially believed it was live. This re-sharing coincides with the weekly window reset, resulting in a single feed containing both the reset card and the usage-limit reset signals that share the same word. To clarify the situation, the reporter created a read-only tracker called Codex Reset Radar. Each entry in the tracker includes a date, source, confidence label, and summary, ensuring that older events remain visible rather than being erased with new information. The reporter emphasizes that the term \"reset\" covers three distinct clocks: the 5-hour usage window, the weekly plan window, and a one-off reset card that only certain plans receive. This can lead to confusion, as a repost from three days ago may appear as breaking news, while a signal that was true for one plan might lead someone to believe their quota should be restored. The tracker records only publicly reported signals, not verified resets, and includes a reset-failed checklist to address potential issues. The site is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI, and the reporter stresses that the user's Codex usage UI remains the authoritative source of truth. Readers can access the tracker through three read-only endpoints, an API page, and an RSS feed. They are encouraged to report any errors or inaccuracies in the log to ensure its reliability.",
  "summary": "Codex reset posts are easy to find and hard to use. A signal gets logged, then re-shared two days later by someone who read it as live, and by then \"the weekly window reset\" and \"a one-off reset card\" are sitting in the same feed using the same word. I wanted a single place to answer one narrow question: is this reset claim new, or am I reading a two-day-old repost? That turned into a small…",
