What issue are you seeing?
On 7 August 2026 at approximately 07:25 BST, the Codex desktop app displayed the banner: “You have a new rate limit reset available — You were granted a rate limit reset that will expire in 30 days.”
However, the Usage panel still showed only 1 available reset: an older Full reset expiring 12 August 2026 at 18:59 BST.
After restarting the app, the count remained 1. I then redeemed that existing reset because my weekly allowance had only 8% remaining. The weekly allowance correctly returned to 100% with the next reset on 14 August, but the available-reset count disappeared entirely.
The account therefore went from 1 available → 0 available, rather than 2 available → 1 available. The newly advertised 30-day reset was never added to the account.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open the Codex desktop app while one previously banked Full reset is available.
- Receive the banner saying: “You have a new rate limit reset available” and that it expires in 30 days.
- Open Usage and observe that the available count remains 1 rather than increasing to 2.
- Completely quit and reopen the app; the count still remains 1.
- Redeem the existing older reset.
- Observe that weekly usage returns to 100%, but the banked-reset count falls to zero and the newly advertised reset is absent.

What is the expected behavior?
When the app announces that a new banked rate-limit reset has been granted, the available count should increase from 1 to 2. After redeeming the older reset, one newly granted reset should remain available with an expiry approximately 30 days from 7 August 2026.
Please verify whether the advertised reset was granted and restore it if the account was unintentionally missed.
Additional information
Account time zone: Europe/London (BST).
The exact banner wording produced no existing GitHub issues in repository search. Issue #36170 concerns a different missed reset announcement and does not describe this direct in-app grant notification followed by a 1 → 0 banked-reset count.
