How to Check Codex Usage Remaining
Content updated: Sep 15, 2026
Direct answer
To check your Codex usage remaining: open Codex, run the /status command, and read the 5-hour and weekly remaining percentages with their reset times. For a persistent dashboard with countdowns and trends, paste the same output into the AI Quota Radar Quota Tracker — it is parsed locally in your browser.
Step by step
1. Open Codex in your terminal or editor. 2. Type /status and press enter. 3. Read the 5-hour and weekly remaining percentages and reset times. 4. Optionally paste the output into the Quota Tracker to keep a history, compute your burn rate automatically and see countdowns to each reset.
What the numbers mean
The 5-hour percentage is your burst capacity right now; it refills continuously. The weekly percentage is your total budget for the rest of the window; it refills at your weekly reset. A banked reset, if present, is an extra refill available on your account.
