OpenAI kicks off the AI price wars with flexible rate-limit resets for its Codex coding agent

OpenAI introduced flexible rate-limit resets for its Codex coding agent, allowing users to bank and manually trigger resets instead of losing them on a fixed schedule. Users on Go, Plus, Pro, and Business plans receive one free reset to start, with Plus and Pro users able to unlock additional resets by inviting friends. The move signals OpenAI's entry into AI pricing competition by offering more control over usage limits.

OpenAI now lets Codex users bank their rate-limit resets and trigger them manually instead of watching them expire on a fixed schedule. If you hit your usage cap mid-session, you can cash in a saved reset right away instead of waiting. Users on the Go, Plus, Pro, and Business plans each get one free reset to start. Plus and Pro users can also invite friends to unlock extra resets.
