Bug: Rate-limit reset message uses “on” before same-day time

Summary

In the Codex desktop app, the rate-limit reset message uses the preposition “on” even when the reset value is displayed as a same-day time.

For example:

Your rate limit resets on 1:44 PM

This is grammatically incorrect. When the reset is shown as a time of day, the message should use “at”:

Your rate limit resets at 1:44 PM

Expected behavior

The UI should choose the preposition based on the formatted reset value:

Your rate limit resets on Friday

or:

Your rate limit resets at 1:44 PM

Actual behavior

When the reset is today and displayed as a time, the desktop app still uses:

Your rate limit resets on 1:44 PM

Suggested fix

Use different message templates depending on whether the reset value is formatted as a date/day or as a time:

  • Date/day: Your rate limit resets on {date}
  • Time: Your rate limit resets at {time}

Environment

  • App: Codex desktop app
  • Platform: Windows
  • Version: [insert Codex app version]
  • Time format: 12-hour clock
  • Locale/language: English

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Log into codex when your rate limit resets the current day
