Missing reset evidence, made practical

Why didn't my Codex
reset appear?

A missing reset can mean several different things: the wrong limit was compared, the displayed time was interpreted in another timezone, the public signal arrived late, or the account state did not change. Check the evidence in that order before treating it as a platform-wide failure.

Start with the fastest useful check

Compare a sanitized before-and-after account capture locally, then compare it with today's public signal. No Codex login or quota upload is required.

1

Identify the limit

Write down the exact limit label, product surface, plan context, and the reset date shown in the account. A rolling window, weekly allowance, and banked reset may follow different clocks.

2

Normalize the time

Record the displayed local time and convert it to UTC before comparing reports. A timezone mismatch can make the same event look like a different day.

3

Compare the account state

Capture the remaining allowance, next-reset label, and any banked balance before and after the expected window. A public announcement alone does not prove that your account changed.

4

Separate delay from absence

A public source may be delayed, unavailable, or ambiguous. Treat the lack of a public signal and the lack of an account-level change as separate observations.

What a missing public signal does—and does not—mean

ResetPulse watches public signals, not private Codex accounts. If the timeline has no confirmed event, that means the public evidence is missing or not yet sufficient; it does not prove that no account changed. Conversely, a confirmed public event describes the observed scope and does not guarantee that every account or plan changed at the same moment.

Keep four timestamps separate

Record when the source announced or displayed the event, when the monitor first observed it, when the event reached confirmation, and when your own account state changed. These timestamps can differ because of rollout timing, caching, source delays, or different limit types.

When the result is still unknown

If the limit label, timezone, or before-and-after account state is missing, label the result unknown instead of inferring a universal reset rule. The monitoring methodology explains how the public timeline separates early signals from confirmed evidence.
