Research direction
Start by reproducing the usage-token behavior with Codex CLI 0.144.6 and run the issue's codex doctor --json command, focusing on the auth.credentials results. Trace the authentication and usage-refresh entry points from there; done means the Plus account's token and usage state refresh correctly without requiring manual intervention.

What issue are you seeing?
I ran out of usage and went to use a usage token. It said it had reset and /status confirmed it. Then I still got a message saying my usage had expired. I checked again and the status reset to 0. I quit codex and resumed and it was still at zero I had another usage token and used that now the status has reset to full. But I have no reset tokens left and my whole workflow planned around having two.
Any change you could look into this and also refund me one token?
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019f4704-1364-7672-9d42-c1967978d46e
What is the expected behavior?
Resetting my usage
