# Track your Codex reset time and timezone — Reset Watch

Canonical: https://resetwatch.net/codex-usage

Enter your own Codex account reset time, choose its timezone, and keep weekly and 5-hour windows separate. Personal entries stay in this browser.

ACCOUNT RESET GUIDE

## Where to find your Codex reset time.

Use the next refresh shown in your own account. An announcement or community prediction cannot tell you when your personal allowance returns.

## From account display to a saved timer

1. Open your account’s usage display. Start with [Usage settings ↗](https://chatgpt.com/settings/usage). In the desktop app, look for Settings → Usage & billing. If your client exposes usage or status details, use the information it actually shows; commands and labels may vary.
2. Choose the allowance you want to track. Read its next refresh time. If your account shows both weekly and 5-hour windows, record each separately. Their end times can differ.
3. Match the date, time and timezone. Use the explicit offset when a daylight-saving clock change makes a local time ambiguous. Do not calculate a new date from a purchase or announcement.
4. Save and cross-check. Open the timer below, select the window, enter its time and save. Compare the UTC line with your input. If your account later shows a different time, update the saved entry.

## A timezone example you can check

Illustrative input, not an account reading: 10 November 2026 at 18:00 with a fixed UTC−05:00 offset is 10 November at 23:00 UTC, or 11 November at 07:00 in UTC+08:00. All three refer to the same instant.

A fixed offset does not follow daylight-saving changes. Use the offset for the date your account shows. Also check your device clock; the countdown depends on it.

## What if Usage does not show a time?

Leave that window unset rather than guessing. Check the account again or consult official support. A banked reset, paid reset or automatic offer can affect the next refresh; the account display remains the reference.

Saved entries stay in this browser. To return at the right time, follow [calendar reminder instructions](https://resetwatch.net/help#help-reminders). If the clock reaches zero and access is still limited, use the [troubleshooting checklist](https://resetwatch.net/help#help-troubleshoot).

## What Reset Watch can tell you

Your personal reset time comes from your Codex Usage display or client. Enter that time and its timezone here; weekly and 5-hour windows are independent. Public community records and historical estimates cannot determine your private account schedule.

Saved times stay in this browser. Calendar export creates a file you must import; it does not enable background push notifications. Reset Watch is an independent tool, not an OpenAI product.
