On day 3 of Tibo’s 28-day challenge, alongside GPT-6 in Chat, Tibo loaded a banked reset into everyone’s paid accounts. It reached our tracking account at about 23:41 UTC, and Tibo confirmed early on October 8 (UTC) that it had landed across all accounts. A banked reset is saved until you use it.

At the OpenAI DevDay 2026 keynote, OpenAI announced "another banked reset" and Tibo pressed the reset button on stage.

“Finally, with all of the new things we ship today because we want you all to build, we figured you might need another banked reset.”

After the Codex outage that began late on September 25 (UTC), Tibo announced a usage-limit reset for all paid users across Codex and ChatGPT Work, and later confirmed that the resets had propagated.

“Resets all propagated. That will be all. Have a fantastic weekend.”
All paid users across Codex and ChatGPT Work, as named in the original announcement. The completion post does not list plans, regions, or account exceptions.
Tibo announced that a banked reset was being loaded into Plus, Pro and Business accounts alongside the Sol and Luna launch. This records a saved grant, not proof that the weekly usage allowance was automatically refilled or that every account has already received it.

Plus, Pro and Business users named in the original post. Check the account’s usage settings for actual availability and expiry.
