}What issue are you seeing?
It appears that my available "usage limit resets" decreases by one sometimes after resuming Codex sessions, despite never redeeming a reset and never hitting my usage limit.
I'm not yet sure whether this is an account issue or a reporting issue, but the behaviour seems inconsistent with how resets are described.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Running:
codex resume <session-id>displays:
╭────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ >_ OpenAI Codex (v0.144.1) │
│ │
│ model: gpt-5.5 high /model to change │
│ directory: <REDACTED WORKING DIRECTORY> │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────╯
Tip: Use /init to create an AGENTS.md with project-specific guidance.
<OUTPUT OF PREVIOUS PROMPTS IN RESUMED SESSION>
• You have 3 usage limit resets available. Run /usage to use one.
>What is the expected behavior?
Running:
codex resume <session-id>should not consume or reduce the number of available usage limit resets.
Instead it should show:
╭────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ >_ OpenAI Codex (v0.144.1) │
│ │
│ model: gpt-5.5 high /model to change │
│ directory: <REDACTED WORKING DIRECTORY> │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────╯
Tip: Use /init to create an AGENTS.md with project-specific guidance.
<OUTPUT OF PREVIOUS PROMPTS IN RESUMED SESSION>
• You have 5 usage limit resets available. Run /usage to use one.

Additional information
The decrease does not occur on every resume, nor does it seem to occur on a fresh, non-resume session.
This has occurred when resuming sessions originally created with GPT-5.5.
On the last resume, I also saw:
This session was recorded with model 'gpt-5.5' but is resuming with 'gpt-5.6-sol'. Consider switching back to 'gpt-5.5' as it may affect Codex performance.
I don't know whether this is related, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Here is the output of /usage
