Tibo says day 17 of OpenAI's 28 day Codex run is another usage limit reset, and urges users to get Daybreak Blue access
Day 17/ Bet you thought we forgot, but no, it’s reset day today. Also good time to remind you to get Daybreak Blue access, it only takes 15 mins and you don’t want to have to do it in the middle of an incident.
Context
Resets give paying Codex and ChatGPT users a fresh allowance, and they have become a running promise from the team that leads Codex.
Thibault Sottiaux, known as Tibo, leads Codex at OpenAI. On October 4 he promised that for 28 days the team would ship either one clear improvement for Codex users or a full usage reset each day.
Deep dive
Early on October 22, Tibo posted the day 17 entry of his 28 day series: bet you thought we forgot, but no, it is reset day today. He added that it is a good time to remind users to get Daybreak Blue access, which he said takes only 15 minutes, because you do not want to have to do it in the middle of an incident.
The series began on October 4, when he said that for the next 28 days the team would ship each day either a clear improvement relevant to most Codex and Work users or a full reset. The previous reset came on day 15, on October 20, and day 16 brought persistent caching in Codex and 12 hour prompt caching in the API.
According to the Open the Rank tracker, Tibo replied under the post that the reset lands tomorrow before 10am PST, meaning October 23. The post does not say which plans receive the reset or explain what Daybreak Blue is, and OpenAI has not published details about it in the sources found.
What to expect next
Watch for the reset to land before 10am Pacific time on October 23, as Tibo said in his reply, and for OpenAI to explain Daybreak Blue and who should sign up. With 11 days left in the series, watch whether the remaining days bring more resets or product improvements, and whether usage limits change after it ends. Users will also watch whether day 18 arrives on time.
