Codex weekly quota refreshed early — Pro first, Plus shortly after

OpenAI pushed an unscheduled early quota reset for Codex on May 19–20: Pro accounts were refreshed first (~18:37 UTC), Plus followed ~4 hours later. Quotas are back at 100% with cycles running through May 26. Background: follows a week of accelerated drain complaints from Pro x20 users and no official OpenAI changelog entry.

May 19–20, 2026. OpenAI pushed an early weekly quota reset for Codex subscribers last night. Pro accounts were refreshed around 18:37 UTC on May 19; Plus accounts followed roughly four hours later at 22:40 UTC. 1 2
Multiple users confirmed waking up on May 20 to a quota back at 100%, with the new cycle now running through May 26 — several days ahead of the original schedule. 3

Why now

The reset follows a rough week on the quota front. From around May 16, a wave of Pro x20 users reported their weekly allowance draining significantly faster than before — some losing 30% in under half a day on workloads that previously consumed 15% per 24 hours. 4 Separately, users flagged a perceived quality dip in GPT-5.5 over the same window. 5
This isn't the first early reset in May. A GPT-5.5 limit reset was also reported around May 19. 6 The April 28 reset — which affected all paid plans and triggered the current stretch of usage complaints — appears to be the original reset event that shifted quota cycles. 7
OpenAI has not posted an official changelog entry explaining the reset trigger. The pattern — opportunistic mid-cycle resets following community-wide quota drain complaints — suggests these resets are reactive rather than scheduled.

What it means for usage

  • Use /usage in the CLI (or codex --status) to check your current remaining quota and the new reset date.
  • Some drain complaints persist. At least one user reported that quota is still depleting faster than before the reset, which means the reset may have addressed the cycle timing but not the underlying consumption rate. 4
  • GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 consume quota differently. Recent benchmarks from r/codex show GPT-5.5 at XHigh uses roughly 2× the tokens of GPT-5.4 at the same effort level ($22 vs. $5.89 per task), while GPT-5.4 Mini can fail to complete tasks at higher effort tiers. If you're burning through quota quickly, switching to GPT-5.4 at Medium or High is the most cost-effective path. 8
