Banked resetPaid users@thsottiaux
Day 3/ The big one is GPT-6 in Chat, but today is also a little celebration day with a new high of 40M active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work. Loading a banked reset in everyone's paid accounts. See you again tomorrow!
This was a banked reset, which OpenAI's Help Center defines as a one-time reset saved to the account until it is used or expires, applied by the account holder, covering paid users.

Announced
This was a regular (global) reset for all users: in OpenAI's wording an automatic or global reset is applied directly to eligible usage limits rather than saved to accounts.
The previous recorded global reset landed 5 days earlier, making this gap shorter than 39% of all recorded gaps between global resets.
The next recorded global reset followed 3 days later, itself shorter than 52% of those gaps.
October 2026 had 9 recorded global resets in total.
In the 30 days ending on this date, 5 global resets were recorded.
This date falls inside the window this site's own research backtest walks (Brier scores only, kept separate from any displayed odds). No per-day odds are published for historical dates — the live reset odds shown on the home page are read from whenreset.app, the single source this site and its sibling trackers now share.
A Codex-related status incident (“Degraded performance in Codex and Work mode: Dot turn failures, delayed responses, and reduced proactivity”) was resolved about 0.9h before this reset — timing only, not evidence of cause.
