An outage, a limit, or a local issue?

  1. An incident is reported

    Check which Codex surface is affected and read the latest official update. An incident does not automatically reset your usage allowance.

    Open official status
  2. You see a usage-limit message

    Your account allowance is separate from service availability. Open the official usage page through our guide and check any reset time shown for your account.

    Where to check my usage
  3. Only your setup is failing

    Confirm the account or workspace you intended to use, check your connection, and check for a client update. If errors continue, keep the exact message for support.

    Check Codex release notes

An operational status does not rule out a newly developing or account-specific issue. Use the latest check time and the exact error message.

Common questions

Why is Codex not working?

A service incident, an account usage limit, or a sign-in, connection, or client problem can look similar. Start with the current official status and the exact error message. A green status alone cannot confirm that every account is working.

What does “an error occurred” mean in Codex?

It is a general message, not a diagnosis. Check official incidents, then your account and connection. Note the exact error, time, and affected Codex surface if you need support; do not share credentials.

Is it an outage or did I hit my usage limit?

If Codex says you have reached your usage limit or tells you when you can try again, that is your plan’s allowance, not an outage. It refreshes on its own schedule. Connection errors, timeouts, or server errors while a service above shows a problem usually mean an outage.

What should I do while Codex is down?

Read the latest official update above. This page refreshes on its own and shows when each service is operational again. Incidents often affect specific surfaces, so another surface, such as the CLI instead of Codex Web, may still work.

Do outages reset usage limits?

Not automatically. OpenAI has sometimes reset Codex limits after a disruption and announced it publicly. The reset history lists past announcements with their sources.

Where does this data come from?

OpenAI’s official status page. Codex Limits checks it every 5 minutes and keeps its own record of status changes, so uptime figures here are our observations, not OpenAI’s official numbers. Codex Limits is independent and not affiliated with OpenAI.
