HELP & TOOLS

## Codex reset timer help & troubleshooting.

Moved from our previous address? Saved reset times are stored separately for each website address. On resetwatch.net, re-enter the current times shown in your Codex account. Your old saved entries remain in the browser on the previous address.

Set the right clock, keep a useful reminder, and know what to check when something changes.

## Find your account time.

Need the full walkthrough? [Follow the account reset guide →](https://resetwatch.net/codex-usage#usage-steps)

Open your account Usage settings or the usage display available in your Codex client. Read the next reset for the window you want to track. Weekly and 5-hour windows are independent.

Enter its exact date and time, select the timezone shown by your account, then save. Reset Watch records the time you enter; it cannot read your account or restore quota.

The countdown refers to one absolute instant. The main clock displays it in this device’s timezone; the UTC line lets you cross-check it.

For an ambiguous daylight-saving time, select the explicit UTC offset shown by your account.

## A reminder that fits your day.

### Calendar reminder

On your clock, choose Add to calendar. Import the downloaded `.ics` file into your calendar app. The event requests a reminder 15 minutes before the entered time; delivery depends on your app and notification settings.

1. On your timer, select the window and choose Add to calendar.
2. On a computer, open Google Calendar → Settings → Import & export. Choose the downloaded .ics file and target calendar, then import.
3. Open the same Google account on Android and check that the event, timezone and notification are present. Notification delivery depends on the app and device settings.

For a phone-only workflow, create an event manually from the absolute time shown by this tool. If the account time changes, edit or remove the old event; the downloaded file does not sync automatically.

### Page reminder

Useful while you keep working with this tab open. It stops when the page closes or reloads. Browser notification permission does not create a background reminder service.

## Something looks different?

### My phone has no saved time.

Entries stay in the browser where you saved them. Devices, browser profiles and private windows do not automatically sync. Enter the account time again on this device. Clearing browser data can remove saved entries.

### The clock reached zero, but I am still limited.

1. Refresh your account Usage display and check which allowance is limited.
2. Compare that allowance’s next refresh with the window selected in this timer. Another window may still be limited.
3. If the account time changed, update the saved entry. Recheck its timezone and your device clock.
4. If the account display and access still disagree, consult official support. A zero countdown on this site cannot confirm restored quota.

### My time is off by an hour.

Check the timezone beside the time in Usage and the timezone selected here. Fixed UTC offsets do not adjust for daylight saving. Also check your device date and time.

### I cannot save or copy.

Some browser settings restrict local storage or clipboard access. Read the visible warning. When storage is unavailable, entries last only for this tab. When clipboard copying fails, you can manually copy the visible time or site address.

### How do I describe a problem safely?

The homepage help section can copy a diagnostic summary of build, timezone, storage and clock states. It excludes exact saved reset times and credentials. You choose whether and where to share it; this site does not submit it automatically.

## Choose the right tool.

## 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.
