Description
I did not use ChatGPT or Codex overnight. At 07:49 I opened the Codex app only to check usage, sent no messages, and started no task. The usage window immediately showed a reset time of 12:49, exactly 5 hours later.
Question
Please confirm whether opening the Codex app is expected to start the 5-hour Codex window, and whether this consumes any message quota.

- Codex and ChatGPT were not used overnight.
- Codex app opened at 07:49 only to check usage.
