Does this mean Codex resets every day for 28 days?

No. The plan is a clear improvement or a full reset each day, not a daily reset. Day 1 was a speed improvement, not a reset.

Is a full reset the same as a saved reset?

OpenAI Help Center describes banked resets and automatic/bulk resets as separate mechanisms. A full reset under this plan may not appear as a saved reset you can use later.

Tibo Sottiaux: Codex ships daily, or gets full reset for 28 days

Send on LINE

3 Key Points

What happened
Tibo Sottiaux said that for 28 days, OpenAI will release one clear improvement for most Codex / Work users each day, or apply a full reset on days it doesn't.
Why it matters
Heavy Codex users get either a better product or their usage limits wiped, so the daily announcement is worth tracking — though reset mechanics may differ from saved resets.

Context & Analysis

The announcement lands as part of a broader pattern: OpenAI has used bulk resets before, including a worldwide reset on September 7, 2026 for Plus, Pro, and Business users that was applied immediately and could not be banked. That history makes the wording of each day's notice important — a "full reset" could mean an account-wide wipe rather than a saved reset, which OpenAI Help Center treats as a distinct tool. Day 1 set the tone by choosing speed over a reset, with GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol running roughly 50% faster by default for subscribers, including some partner products that support Sign in with ChatGPT. Because no fixed daily announcement time is confirmed, users watching their limits may need to check X posts and the OpenAI Developer Community rather than assume a schedule. The net effect is a public commitment that gives OpenAI a clear daily incentive to keep shipping, while giving heavy Codex users a reason to check in each day.
