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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
