# Codex 5h Limit Reset Checker

If Codex shows a low 5-hour usage window, paste the sanitized `/status` lines into the free coding-agent usage checker before starting another premium agent loop.

Open the checker:

## Fast Decision Rule

- If the 5h window is below 10%, run only deterministic local commands.
- If the next task is broad research, refactoring, or multi-file implementation, wait for reset.
- If the task prevents a production incident or directly creates revenue, keep the prompt short and avoid repeated repo discovery.
- If the warning says limits may be stale, run the status command again before starting more agent work.

## Paid Rescue

Buy the $29 coding-agent usage rescue if you want a short written recommendation from a sanitized Codex status panel and one workflow note:

## Data Boundary

Remove account email, session ID, repository path, source code, raw prompts, raw outputs, customer data, credentials, and API keys. The first pass only needs usage percentages, reset times, model names, warning lines, and a short workflow note.
