I had just finished a task that ran for nearly 30 hours. CodexBar was showing 79% with a flame, and the CLI said I had four usage resets banked. So I tried one.

The starting point
A long task finished, but the meter was still hot.
The task landed after 1 day, 5 hours and 51 minutes. Up in the menu bar, CodexBar showed 79% and added a flame because I was running hotter than pace. The CLI also told me four usage limit resets were available.
One very long task later...
The account view after the work. The terminal shows /usage daily, while the notice above it says four resets are ready to use.
01
Open the menu
/usage is where the reset lives.
Running /usage opens the account usage menu. From there, the redeem option sits next to the normal usage view and shows the number of credits currently available.
The useful bit, close up. Choose “Redeem usage limit reset”.In context. Codex confirms the reset count before you continue.
02
Pick a credit
Each reset has its own expiry time.
I had four full resets banked. Codex listed the expiry for each one, so the sensible choice was the earliest-expiring credit at the top.
Earliest expiry first
Four resets, four deadlines. The first credit was due to expire within minutes.
03
Redeem it
Codex consumes one credit.
The reset happens in place. A short “Using a reset...” message appears, then Codex confirms the new balance. Four became three.
Before. Codex is applying the selected credit.After. The reset is complete and three credits remain.
04
The payoff
Then CodexBar noticed zero.
Once the usage reading hit exactly 0%, CodexBar brought back its celebration. Fireworks filled the screen. Slightly unnecessary? Maybe. Still very satisfying.
One very long task later...
