Linux Codex users cannot access or redeem banked usage resets

[turtle261]

What issue are you seeing?

New Codex rate limit reset mechanism makes it so only Codex Desktop App users can apply a reset/view their resets etc.
Since the Codex Desktop app is supported only by Windows/MacOS, Codex users are required to purchase Microsoft Windows or a Mac device in order to use banked Codex usage resets.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Use Linux with Codex CLI/VSCode extension, and view your usage. No reset bank counter, nor "reset usage" capability or option is present.

What is the expected behavior?

That purchasing a new OS is not required to not feel excluded from an account-level Codex update; That using linux should not block one out from ever receiving a usage reset.

Additional information

Presumably, if the reset expires while Linux users remain unable to redeem it, then this is teetering on false marketing because OpenAI (on X) said: "We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset:" -- which is incorrect currently for Linux users, as they are unable to access said reset.

This is misleading by omission.

A web implementation would also be fine. For example, the reset could be shown and redeemed from a Codex usage/settings page such as https://chatgpt.com/codex/cloud/settings/analytics

I agree, and this link doesn't solve the issue as it's not an OpenAI method. But, I hope it's a useful workaround for you in the meantime. There are things like https://github.com/ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux which allow running Codex App/Desktop on linux. App shold be native to linux. There should be other ways to reset it, like the analytics page.

There's also running a VM with Windows, even if to just boot it, click reset, and shut down. Again, just a silly workaround.

We're working on exposing this functionality in the CLI (TUI).

Me neither. They did not actually roll out to all paying users, at least not yet, despite it being a few days. It's ridiculous that they would expect this to "feel good" to end users, lol. If one can see others reaping the benefit, but is left in the dust themselves, they do not feel "good" about who caused that.

Still not appearing on the CLI on linux

[jayp-oai]

CLI support for viewing and redeeming available rate-limit resets has landed in #28154 and will be included in the next CLI release. Once available, eligible Linux users can open /usage and select Redeem rate limit reset.

Seems like it's merged. When will it be released?
