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.
EXHIBIT A - @thsottiaux, SEP 3 2026
"We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. First one will land in ~3 hours."
What "one per day without access" implies vs what is documented. Primary sources in the receipts section.
Day
Promised (literal)
Documented
Sep 3
+1 banked reset
Granted (Help Center)
Sep 4
+1 banked reset
Granted (Help Center)
Sep 5
+1 if still no Astra
Not documented; separate full-reset report
Sep 6
+1 if still no Astra
Not 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 in the check section.

EXHIBIT 1 / 6
Sep 3, 2026
Confirmed
GPT-6 Astra launches into gradual rollout
OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra with phased availability for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and API. Help Center notes availability can differ between Chat, Work and Codex.
Tibo promises one banked reset per day without Astra
"We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. First one will land in ~3 hours." Altman reshares and apologises for the "messy rollout".
Existing Plus, Pro and Business users in good standing receive a banked reset on Sep 3 AND Sep 4. New-account cutoffs: before 10pm PT Sep 3, before 8pm PT Sep 4. No Sep 5 or Sep 6 grant is documented.
Secondary coverage reports Tibo posted that Astra rolled out "ahead of schedule" with a full banked reset for all Plus, Pro and Business users landing end of day, cutoff 8pm PT for new signups/upgrades. Verify against the original X thread - treated as REPORTED here, not confirmed.
Users report Astra available in ChatGPT Work while Codex still shows only GPT-5.x models. One unverified report of Windows desktop Codex lagging web/mobile. No Denmark/EU exclusion documented - rollout is described as account-by-account.
Sep 6, 2026 - today
The gap
The gap this site tracks
Taken literally, "one reset per day without access" implies Sep 5 and Sep 6 grants for accounts still missing Astra in Codex. The Help Center only documents Sep 3 + Sep 4. That delta - plus the Chat/Work vs Codex distinction - is what the survey below measures.

The receipts
Open each source, screenshot your own Settings -> Usage page, and attach both when contacting Support.
My proof
0 - The reset landed, Astra didn't
Screen recording from my own account: a banked rate-limit reset granted - while the Codex model picker still tops out at GPT-5.6 Sol. One half of the promise kept.
My Settings -> Usage, Sep 6 2026. If the recording is missing here, it is being uploaded.
We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. Team is moving mountains to give access as fast as we can.
First one will land in ~ 3 hours. There is still time to create your account if you don't have one.
Help Center: existing Plus, Pro, Business users in good standing receive a banked reset on both Sep 3 and Sep 4. New-account cutoffs 10pm PT / 8pm PT. Eligibility varies by plan, region, availability - subject to change.
Astra "rolling out gradually", availability can differ between Chat, Work and Codex. Codex needs CLI 0.153.0+ / latest desktop app. Credits don't accelerate access.
Secondary coverage reports a Sep 5 "full banked reset for all Plus, Pro, Business" post with an 8pm PT signup cutoff. Treat as reported until you verify the original X thread yourself.
Do these five checks so nobody can dismiss your report as an old client.
Run codex --version - Astra in Codex needs 0.153.0+. Upgrade first, re-check model picker.
Update to the latest ChatGPT desktop app (the old Codex app merged into it) and check the model list on web too.
Confirm you are in the right account / workspace - paid plan, good standing, no seat confusion.
Open Settings -> Usage and count banked resets. Expect 2 (Sep 3 + Sep 4) as an existing Plus/Pro/Business user. Screenshot it.
Note each surface separately: Astra in Chat? In Work? In Codex? Work-yes/Codex-no is the known split.

Paid for ChatGPT but STILL no Astra in Codex? Tibo promised 1 banked reset PER DAY without access. Help Center only documents Sep 3+4. Track the gap + add your data:

I have Astra in Work, zero Astra in Codex, and 1 reset instead of 2. Who else?

Title: Astra available in Work but NOT in Codex, and banked resets stopped after Sep 4 - built a tracker + survey
Body: Tibo's Sep 3 post promised one banked reset per day without Astra access. The Help Center only documents Sep 3 + Sep 4 grants for Plus/Pro/Business. I have Astra in Work and nothing in Codex on Sep 6, and I'm missing the second reset.
I built a small tracker with timeline, sources and an anonymous survey (country / plan / Chat vs Work vs Codex / resets received). Results are public in aggregate:

Professional framing
When a vendor promises "one credit per day of delayed access" and the docs later show two fixed grant days, trust erodes - even if the model is good.
I built a tiny public tracker for the GPT-6 Astra Codex rollout: timeline, primary sources, and an anonymous survey splitting Chat / Work / Codex access.

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.
