ChatGPT Android provides no visibility into Codex usage limits or banked reset credits

What issue are you seeing?

The ChatGPT Android app provides no way to inspect my current Codex usage allowance / limits, reset timing, or banked reset credits.

This information is available through other first-party surfaces and is important for managing paid Codex usage. On Android, I have to leave the first-party app and open the web interface simply to determine what usage I have available.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the ChatGPT Android app.
  2. Open Settings / account and look for Codex usage information.
  3. There is no equivalent of the web usage view showing current allowance, reset timing, or banked resets.

Actual behavior

I cannot find any way in the Android app to see:

  • current Codex usage / remaining allowance;
  • reset timing and usage period;
  • banked / accumulated reset credits; or
  • model-specific usage where limits differ by model.

Expected behavior

The Android app should expose the same account-level Codex usage information available through other first-party surfaces, including current usage / remaining allowance, reset timing, banked resets, the relevant usage period, and ideally model-specific usage where limits differ by model.

Why this is more than a convenience feature

Banked resets and included Codex allowance are finite account-level resources that affect whether paid Codex work can continue. They can be consumed and their state affects decisions about when and which models to use.

A user working through ChatGPT Android / Codex Remote can therefore consume Codex resources while having no first-party Android view of the remaining allowance or banked-reset state. The user must switch to a browser merely to inspect the account resource being consumed.

This is particularly problematic when diagnosing unexpected usage or reset-credit consumption: without an Android usage surface, the mobile client provides no way to establish the before/after state.

Recent reports about reset/usage accounting illustrate why visibility matters operationally; for example #41593 and other rate-limit/reset reports in this tracker. Regardless of the outcome of those individual accounting reports, users need a consistent way to inspect the authoritative usage state from every first-party client that can initiate or control Codex work.

Feature parity / implementation context

There is a related request (#25223) concerning mobile Profile/Usage and Codex mobile/app-server APIs. This report is specifically about the user-facing ChatGPT Android app and parity with the usage information exposed elsewhere.

Please transfer or route this report internally if another public tracker is preferred.

Current status

Still reproducible on 7 September 2026 in the current ChatGPT Android app available to me. The Android client still provides no visible Codex usage / banked-reset surface.
