No Codex reset available and subscription update fails on Pro 5x during Build Week

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.

Clarification / main issue:
The main issue is that I have not had access to any Codex usage-limit reset since OpenAI changed my subscription during the Paris hackathon last month.
During the hackathon, the normal Codex credit redemption flow did not work, so my understanding is that OpenAI changed my account to a one-month Pro 5x plan instead.
Since then:
No usage limit resets available.There was a problem updating your subscription.So the problem is not only missing credits. My account appears to be stuck in an inconsistent subscription/quota state after the hackathon subscription change.

Additional screenshot evidence for the subscription problem:
I have a screenshot of the ChatGPT subscription plan page showing:
Choose your plan5xYour current planThere was a problem updating your subscriptionThis screenshot supports that the account is not only missing Codex resets; the subscription state itself cannot be updated while Pro 5x is shown as current.
Follow-up: the one-month hackathon Pro 5x benefit has now ended, but the account is still blocked. I opened a new issue with updated logs and pricing-page evidence: #33072
