OpenAI's Tibo jokes that people are now asking him for Codex usage resets on the street, and says he will make cards to hand out
People have escaped the TL and are asking me for resets on the street now. I’ll make little cards to hand out
Context
The joke shows how much attention Tibo's resets of Codex usage limits get from developers, and how closely users watch their limits.
This is a joking first hand post from Tibo, who leads Codex at OpenAI. It does not announce a reset or any change to limits.
Deep dive
On October 18, Tibo posted: People have escaped the TL and are asking me for resets on the street now. I'll make little cards to hand out.
TL appears to refer to his timeline on X, where his posts about resets draw many replies. A reset restores users' Codex usage allowance before the normal period ends, so people who have run low can keep working. The joke suggests people are now approaching him in person, though he gave no details.
Tibo has been posting daily updates during what he calls a 28 day push. He announced a global reset of Codex usage limits on Day 10, as covered in the October 15 deck, and another on Day 13, posted on October 17, which he said would land by the end of the day Pacific time.
The post drew more than 600 replies by that evening. He did not say whether another reset is planned, or whether the cards are real.
What to expect next
Watch the remaining days of Tibo's 28 day push for further resets or lasting changes to Codex limits, which users have been asking for in large numbers.
Also watch whether OpenAI changes how Codex limits work for heavy users, since frequent manual resets suggest demand is outrunning the current allowances. Competing coding agents are under similar pressure over usage caps.
