About
Codex quota is the usage-limit mechanism applied to OpenAI's Codex coding agent (CLI, IDE extension, desktop app and cloud). Codex is included in ChatGPT plans, and usage is metered against a weekly allowance that varies by plan: Plus covers focused coding sessions each week, Pro offers higher limits for full workdays across projects, and Business adds a shared workspace with admin controls.
"Banked resets" are, according to a YouTube walkthrough (Matthew Berman), resets granted by the Codex team that can be used to refill quota once it is exhausted. These grants expire if unused. Users can check their remaining weekly quota from within Codex. Exact limits, grant rules and expiry periods are not specified in the provided official pages, so they should be verified in OpenAI's Codex documentation.
Codex can also be used with an API key instead of a ChatGPT plan, which requires separate setup and is billed through the API rather than plan quota. The Codex CLI itself is open source under Apache-2.0, but quota and plan limits are enforced by OpenAI's services.
