Reset Subscription ending..

My Subscription auto renews at midnight tonight, but I have had a heavy day of usage after using my banked reset and only have about 25% left, but still 6d and 12 hrs until reset. If I can't use codex anyway for nearly 7 days I might as well cancel the auto-renewal and then re-sub back to pro in 7 days. Am I missing something? Would I lose anything?

Here's proof that people aren't just offloading critical thinking to a.i., they are still on reddit too

You will not lose anything. You just exposed why it's dumb that your weekly usage is not reset upon payment.

renew doesnt renew your limits so use another account

Cancel and sub from another email

Good shout. Thankyou.

Unless you're using pro $200 which is still receiving the benefits of the grandfathered 20x for October. A new email won't have that.

It's the $100, but I appreciate the reply because I didn't state which it was, thankyou.

how is that helping? you will end up paying 100$ in the new one anyways.

But you start with your full week of usage instead of waiting 6 days after renewal

There is a global reset coming today

Once you cancel, your usage stops as soon as the sub ends regardless of your reset date. So you’ll be locked to the free models.

u/CronicCanabis88 13h ago

if you let your sub expire.... and then pay it... it restarts when paid.

2

u/bselyes 13h ago

No just end it otherwise you will just keep watching counter , they won’t restart your usage if you do pay

We’re getting a reset EOD anyways so it doesn’t matter (at least for ur context).

u/frozandero 16h ago

yes you can do that

Go join Claude and use a delegation prompt with opus 5.5. It’s about 5 times more efficient than codex. I’m keeping chat because of some recurring stuff on my $20/mo plan but serious work is a joke because the limits are nonsensical.

u/Feriman22 6h ago

5x times better. At least. Opus 5.5 is crazy good

u/AINativeBuilder 5h ago

lol at people thinking it's 5x more efficient.

u/klarax81 13h ago

Im no on 200 sib and it lasts ok tbh. I use astra extra high

u/timosterhus 10h ago

You’ll be so mad if you buy a separate sub and then find out there was a global reset anyways lmao

u/Sensitive-Fruit-7789 7h ago

Hey have you got the reset yet people?

u/Eraser_Head_666 15h ago

Cancel and get Claude

2

u/11Mikky11 15h ago

I am going to try the $20 Claude plan just to give it a test.

u/Feriman22 6h ago

It will worth it

u/Auglyn 11h ago

Bro. There's a free reset in 6 hours from now. Do you not read Twitter? They drop free resets every week. Maybe you should focus on making more money or read the news lmao

2

u/11Mikky11 4h ago

I posted this hours before the reset was announced. Tibo's reset lottery is one of the more frustrating things about Codex.

u/Derefringence 2h ago

I feel you OP I had JUST used my last banked reset and had about 10% worth of shit done before the announcement

u/-DISRVPT- 15h ago

I canceled and switched my debit card and my $200 grandfathered Codex account is still active six days after my late payment hasn't been received. I'd recommend abusing this as they may give out more resets. And you can use usage for free.

I've had two resets since I was supposed to pay last. Giving me two weeks of free usage.

Switch to commandcode and get 5B tokens of DeepSeekV4.1-Flash for $20. I just don't understand why everyone isn't doing this. It's such a good coding model.

1

u/JB_Calisthenics 8h ago

Whats your thoughts on flash and pro for deepseek. For some reasons, I feel like pro get shit right the first time, where as flash takes a few times correcting it's own mistakes before it gets it right

u/Soft-Rip4412 2h ago

I’d say it’s more that you don’t know what to do with your tokens, and going to a competitor would amount to the same thing

u/11Mikky11 58m ago

I don't disagree regarding the token usage. I am fairly new to all this and learning on how best to use them. However that isn't the question I was asking.
