codex-reset: a tiny Linux/CLI redeem tool building on your wham research

[aaamosh]

Hey @Soju06 — thanks for the usage-refresh-policy spec and the broader /wham/* reverse-engineering work in this repo. They were the cleanest public notes I found while figuring out how the new banked rate-limit reset feature talks to the backend.

OpenAI rolled out savable rate-limit resets on 2026-06-12 but the redeem button only exists in the desktop / VS Code extension — the Rust CLI doesn't expose it and the extension's prompt doesn't reliably appear on Linux either. So I extracted the endpoint from the official openai.chatgpt VS Code extension's webview bundle and wrote a no-deps Python CLI that does the same redeem flow via ~/.codex/auth.json:

Endpoints, in case useful for codex-lb itself (they sit alongside /wham/usage):

• GET /wham/rate-limit-reset-credits — list credits (status / granted_at / expires_at)
• POST /wham/rate-limit-reset-credits/consume — body {credit_id, redeem_request_id}, returns {code: "reset", windows_reset: 1}

Verified live against a Plus account on the June rollout: weekly window went 100% → 0%, available_count 1 → 0 in one call. Mentioned codex-lb in the README acknowledgements. Cheers.
