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

Open 💬 4 comments Opened Jul 14, 2026 by ardjo-s

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 CLI / Codex desktop flow on macOS. I can provide more terminal details privately if needed.

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:

  1. Pro 5x appears active.
  2. No Codex reset is available.
  3. Hackathon/Build Week credits were not usable through the original redemption flow.
  4. Subscription changes fail in the UI.
  5. I am blocked from using Codex for Build Week despite being on the intended hackathon benefit plan.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Use an account that received the Codex hackathon/Build Week Pro 5x benefit after the credit redemption flow did not work.
  2. Open Codex CLI.
  3. Open the usage panel with /usage.
  4. Observe the weekly usage warning: less than 10% weekly limit remaining.
  5. Open the usage reset option.
  6. Observe: No usage limit resets available.
  7. Open the ChatGPT plan/subscription page.
  8. Observe that Pro 5x is shown as the current plan.
  9. Try to switch/update the subscription.
  10. 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.

Additional information

  • Codex CLI version: codex-cli 0.144.4
  • Platform: Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm
  • Codex model shown: gpt-5.5 low
  • Codex usage warning shown: less than 10% weekly limit remaining

Private evidence available for OpenAI Support, not posted publicly:

  • unique Codex credits link from the original hackathon/Build Week credit email
  • email receipt / message IDs for the Codex credits email
  • OpenAI Build Week Community Hackathon - Paris registration receipt
  • Codex Credits Request Form receipt

Please check whether the Codex credit grant, Pro 5x benefit, quota/reset ledger, and subscription state are out of sync for this account.
