Your remaining Codex usage is account-specific

This page cannot read your allowance or reset time. Open Codex Settings or the limit banner in your signed-in client for the options available to your plan.

The public rules worth checking

What changes how quickly the pool is used?

Task size and complexity, the selected model, and where the task runs all affect consumption. A fixed message counter would give the wrong answer.

What happens at a limit?

An active turn can continue subject to fair-use limits. Afterward, the available account options can include credits, a reset, an upgrade, or waiting for the limit to reset.

A published reset rule is not your reset clock

Product limits can depend on plan, location, workspace controls, prior use, feature availability, and the exact work requested. A useful public page preserves that distinction rather than turning a provider article into a fake personal dashboard.
