/usage and claim reset

Same on my end. It consumed the reset but did not reset the quota.

+1 Seems you, me and many others are also stuck with this - and my reset seems not to be for another 6 days so I cannot work
I hope Open AI will fix this soon. [https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/31450](url)

ChatGPT Plus, Codex Desktop on Windows.

The Usage UI shows 3 available Full resets, but using the first reset fails.

Backend log:
POST /wham/rate-limit-reset-credits/consume
HTTP 403
{"detail":{"code":"rate_limit_reset_ineligible"}}

Signing out and signing back in did not resolve it.
The reset count remains at 3 and weekly usage remains at 0%.

Additional datapoint from an account that burned 3 banked resets in under an hour (2026-07-18, ~11:30–12:35 UTC), while status incident 01KXT44TAQQ2R0AZDDVSJGAC4H was open:

GET /backend-api/wham/usage with a valid Codex CLI OAuth token (claims: chatgpt_plan_type=pro, issued 2026-07-17 ~21:20 UTC) and the correct chatgpt-account-id header returned plan_type: "free", a 30-day window, and rate_limit_reset_credits: { available_count: 0, total_earned_count: 0 } — while the UI still showed 3 banked resets as redeemable. All 3 were consumed with zero effect (rate_limit_reset_ineligible path).

UPDATE / correction for accuracy: on this account the free plan_type turned out to be legitimate — the paid plan's billing period had ended the previous day (renewal canceled earlier in the month). So this wasn't backend entitlement misresolution here. But the defect this issue tracks still fired in full:

  • the UI presented 3 banked resets as available and redeemable on an ineligible account,
  • each redemption was accepted and decremented the bank,
  • none applied, and nothing warned redemption would be void,
  • the OAuth token still claimed pro a day after period end — mixed signals everywhere.

Redemption must be transactional (don't consume unless the reset lands) and ineligible accounts shouldn't be offered the redeem action at all. Reported to support with full ids (cases 11695130/11695466/11695477).
