Research direction
Start by reproducing the /usage “redeem/reset limit” flow in codex-cli 0.145.0 and inspect how the account/rateLimits/read refresh is handled. Compare the CLI and web state after the reset; done means an applied reset is reflected consistently and the usage block is cleared.

Codex doctor report
What issue are you seeing?
When I run /usage in Codex CLI and choose “redeem/reset limit …”, the CLI indicates the reset was applied, but I still see “usage limit reached” in the CLI and on web even after ~1 hour. Logging in on the web does not change the state, so it doesn’t look like a session cache issue.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Open Codex CLI
Ensure you are in a “usage limit reached” state
Type /usage
Choose the option to “redeem/reset limit …”
Observe the “applied/success” message
Attempt to use Codex again (still blocked). Also check the web UI (still blocked).
What is the expected behavior?
After consuming an earned reset, the eligible Codex rate-limit window should be reset, and after refreshing limits (via account/rateLimits/read) the CLI/web should reflect that usage is no longer blocked.
