No Codex reset available and subscription update fails on Pro 5x during Build Week
What version of Codex CLI is running?
codex-cli 0.144.4
What subscription do you have?
Pro 5x / Pro X5.
The subscription page shows Pro 5x as my current plan, but I cannot update/change the subscription. The page displays:
There was a problem updating your subscription
Which model were you using?
gpt-5.5 low
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm
What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

Codex doctor report
I have local codex doctor --json output available, but I am not posting the full raw diagnostics publicly because it may include local paths, account state, prompts, workspace metadata, or other private details. I can provide redacted diagnostics or private evidence to OpenAI Support if requested.
What issue are you seeing?
I am trying to participate in Codex Build Week and this is blocking me.
I received a Codex hackathon/Build Week credit flow, but the normal credit redemption did not work during the hackathon flow. My understanding is that a one-month Pro 5x / Pro X5 plan was provided because the credits flow did not work.
However, while on Pro 5x:
- Codex shows my weekly usage is almost exhausted.
- Codex says I have less than 10% of my weekly limit left.
- The usage/reset screen says:
No usage limit resets available. - I cannot change/update my subscription from the plan page.
- The subscription page shows Pro 5x as the current plan, but attempting to update it shows:
There was a problem updating your subscription.
This looks like an inconsistent account state across Codex quota/reset handling and ChatGPT subscription/billing state:
- Pro 5x appears active.
- No Codex reset is available.
- Hackathon/Build Week credits were not usable through the original redemption flow.
- Subscription changes fail in the UI.
- I am blocked from using Codex for Build Week despite being on the intended hackathon benefit plan.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Use an account that received the Codex hackathon/Build Week Pro 5x benefit after the credit redemption flow did not work.
- Open Codex CLI.
- Open the usage panel with
/usage. - Observe the weekly usage warning: less than 10% weekly limit remaining.
- Open the usage reset option.
- Observe:
No usage limit resets available. - Open the ChatGPT plan/subscription page.
- Observe that Pro 5x is shown as the current plan.
- Try to switch/update the subscription.
- Observe the error:
There was a problem updating your subscription.
What is the expected behavior?
If the hackathon/Build Week benefit was intended to provide one month of Pro 5x because direct credits did not work, Codex should either:
- provide usable Codex capacity/reset consistent with that benefit,
- show the missing credit/reset benefit clearly,
- explain why no reset is available,
- or allow the subscription/billing state to be changed normally.
At minimum, the account should not be stuck in a state where Pro 5x is current, Codex is almost exhausted, no reset is available, the original credits were not usable, and subscription updates fail.
