OpenAI Codex Rate Limits: Bank Resets & Referrals

OpenAI is introducing a flexible rate limit system for its Codex coding assistant. Users can now save rate limit resets for later use. This feature is rolling out to ChatGPT Go, Plus, Pro, and Business tiers. All eligible users will receive one free banked reset. Plus and Pro users can earn up to three more resets through a limited-time referral pilot. For the next two weeks, these users can invite friends to try Codex. When a referred friend sends their first message, both accounts receive a new banked rate limit reset. This change gives users more control over when their quota refreshes. It helps avoid interruptions during heavy coding sessions. The bottom line is this new system offers more flexibility for users of the Codex coding assistant.
