[Feature]: Automatically redeem a banked Codex reset at the usage limit #22467

Closed as not planned

Description

@ryoppippi

Problem

T3 shows available banked Codex resets in Usage → Limits and lets a user redeem one with Use reset, but limited threads cannot use an available reset without someone noticing the limit and applying it manually.

For unattended work, I would prefer T3 to use a previously granted reset when the included allowance is exhausted, then continue the waiting thread, rather than leave the work parked until the natural reset time.

Proposed behaviour

  • Add an explicit opt-in setting for a Codex account/provider instance to redeem one banked reset when its included usage limit is exhausted.
  • Do not redeem while included usage remains. Use a reset only for the account that hit the limit, and report which account/reset was consumed and whether the provider confirmed it.
  • If no reset is available, or redemption is not confirmed, keep the thread limited and retain the existing wait/manual-resume choices.
  • After confirmed redemption, refresh that account's limits and resume eligible limited threads as soon as the refreshed allowance permits, while respecting a thread's Stop/cancel state.
  • Keep this opt-in and off by default because banked resets are finite and consuming one is irreversible.

Current behaviour

T3's Usage and limits guide documents a reset count and manual Use reset action. OpenAI describes banked resets as resets the account holder applies manually in How banked Codex resets work. The upstream Codex app has a related request to queue a reset for when a usage limit is exhausted: openai/codex#32218.

    It would also be useful to automatically redeem banked resets shortly before they expire, even if there is still weekly allowance remaining. Otherwise, users risk losing unused resets simply because they forgot to redeem them.
