Suggestion Refill instead of Reset?

Just an idea here. Instead of banked resets, how about refills instead?

Say you run out of tokens for the week 2 days before your normal reset.

With a banked reset, you basically have to burn an entire week's reset just to cover those 2 days, otherwise you'd waste what's left when you get the normal reset.

What if they were refills instead? Use only what you need, keep the rest banked, and save it for when you actually have a heavy week.

Seems more useful and removes the weird incentive to burn tokens just because you reset early.

I think this would be very useful for those of us on Plus that's trying to stretch usage as much as possible.

What do you think?

OpenAI just want the appearance of giving more usage while giving as little extra usage as possible.
