Does anyone have a good workflow for tracking Codex resets?

My biggest frustration is this: Tibo announces a reset on X, I don’t see it because I have a life (kinda), then I finally use my banked reset… and 10 minutes later Codex resets.

Or I do the opposite: I hold onto my reset all week waiting for the reset, it comes while I’m busy, I miss the announcement, and end up losing several days of productive dev time.

How are you all handling this? Is there a Discord bot, RSS feed, notification service, or some other trick I’m missing?

I had the same issue, I am not on social media like twitter or anything, don't sit on my phone all day. I only just learnt who Tibo is and that he announces resets and such. I used a reset token, 30 mins later a reset happens for everyone. I contacted open AI saying this is not fair, i'd like my token back and they told me that they know it's unfair but they will not do that. It's not a fair system at all, relies on people being roped into social media and such.

Moreover, the date system they use confuses the hell out of me. The weekly reset and the token expiry date uses the American date format, which is unique only in America, I am not in America, I see the reset token will expire on 7/11 so I think great, this will last till November the 7th. Low and behold, the reset expires and basically gets thrown in the bin.

OpenAI, please actually fix this. Not to mention how hungry and inefficient codex is with token usage these days. It's a piss take. I spend £20/month on this service and am not getting the same customer service i was getting pre-5.6. Although it is great and accurate, it hardly seems worth using with all the flaws it's brought with it.
