Day 4 - Sep 6, 2026 - Codex rollout still incomplete

Where is my banked reset?
Where is Astra in Codex?

On Sep 3, OpenAI's Codex lead promised one banked reset for every day without Astra access, first landing in ~3 hours. The Help Center now documents exactly two grant days: Sep 3 + Sep 4. Paid users with Astra in Work still see only GPT-5.x in Codex on Sep 6. This page tracks that gap with sources - and your anonymous data point.

The promise gap

What "one per day without access" implies vs what is documented. Primary sources on the receipts page.

DayPromised (literal)Documented
Sep 3+1 banked resetGranted (Help Center)
Sep 4+1 banked resetGranted (Help Center)
Sep 5+1 if still no AstraNot documented; separate full-reset report
Sep 6+1 if still no AstraNot documented

Work yes / Codex no

OpenAI says availability can differ between Chat, Work and Codex. An account can hold Astra-powered GPT-6 in Work while Codex still shows GPT-5.6 only. That split is the most-reported pattern - the survey splits all three surfaces.

Missing reset #2?

Existing Plus, Pro and Business users in good standing should have two resets (Sep 3 + Sep 4). Only showing one total? Check Settings -> Usage and send Support a screenshot. The Help Center says they can investigate.

Buying credits won't help

OpenAI explicitly says purchasing extra credits does not accelerate Astra access. What does matter: Codex CLI 0.153.0+ and the latest desktop app. Full checklist on the check page.

Fast answers

I have Astra in Work but not in Codex. Do I "have access"?

OpenAI says availability can differ between Chat, Work and Codex. Tibo's post said "on your paid ChatGPT plan" without naming a surface, while the Help Center grants are tied to plan, not surface. This ambiguity is exactly why the survey splits Chat / Work / Codex answers.

How many banked resets should I have?

Per the Help Center: existing Plus, Pro and Business users in good standing should have TWO - one from Sep 3 and one from Sep 4. If you only see one total, check Settings -> Usage and contact Support with a screenshot; the Help Center says Support can investigate missing resets.

Does buying credits unlock Astra faster?

No. OpenAI explicitly says purchasing extra credits does not accelerate Astra access. The Codex requirement that IS documented: Codex CLI 0.153.0+ and the latest desktop app.

Is Denmark / EU excluded?

No exclusion has been documented. The rollout is described as gradual and account-by-account, not region-blocked.

Where do I check my resets?

ChatGPT desktop app, CLI or web: Settings -> Usage. Look for "1 reset available" / "Full reset". Applying a full reset refreshes 5-hour and weekly windows and moves your weekly reset date.

Is this site affiliated with OpenAI?

No. Independent community tracker. Claims link to primary sources; secondary reports are labelled REPORTED until verified.
