Description
The Codex CLI frontend enforces a hard network block when the 5h usage limit hits 0%, entirely ignoring the fact that gpt-reserve is at 100%. This gateway block traps the user, forcing them to use the "Reset Usage" feature.
When executing a reset to clear the 5h block, the backend ledger incorrectly handles a healthy weekly quota balance. Instead of refreshing or extending the cycle, the reset forcefully overwrote my untouched 84% weekly cushion, completely vaporized a 100% gpt-reserve pool, and advanced next weekly reset date forward—effectively forcing me to burn next week's quota.
Steps to Reproduce
-
1. Exhaust the 5h usage limit to 0% while retaining a high weekly balance (84% left) and an untouched reserve pool (100% left).
-
2. Attempt to force the reserve model via
/model gpt-5.6-luna --reserve. Observe the gateway hard-blocking the input. -
3. Trigger the "Reset Usage" function to clear the 5h freeze.
-
4. Run
/statusand observe that the remaining weekly cushion and reserve pools have been completely wiped and the billing cycle dates shifted forward.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 01a05675-03f4-73c1-bcf7-38458f6543ce
What is the expected behavior?
Expected Behavior
-
1. The CLI client should recognize a valid
gpt-reservebalance and dynamically fall back to it when the 5h limit hits 0%, rather than enforcing a hard entry gateway block. -
2. If a user manually executes "Reset Usage" to clear a short-term 5h block, the backend ledger should preserve any existing, unused weekly quota cushion (e.g., 84% remaining) and untouched
gpt-reservepools. -
3. The reset function should act as a supplementary quota extension or localized counter refresh for the exhausted limit, rather than triggering a destructive account ledger wipe that advances the 7-day subscription cycle date forward and forces early consumption of the following week's allocation without warning or prorating.

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start at the CLI's "Reset Usage" action and reproduce the behavior described against codex-cli 0.151.0 using the reported Plus subscription and models. Trace how the action handles the weekly quota and gpt-reserve pool; done means resetting usage extends the cycle without overwriting healthy quota or destroying the reserve pool.
