Day 3 of the 28-day sprint: Tibo loads a banked reset into every paid Codex and Work account, as active users hit 40M
Tibo marked Day 3 of the 28-day Codex sprint by loading a banked reset into every paid Codex/Work account, celebrating a new high of 40 million active users.
Verified Oct 7, 2026.
What happened
OpenAI's Thibault "Tibo" Sottiaux, the Codex and ChatGPT lead, announced Day 3 of the 28-day ship-or-reset pledge on Oct 7 with a banked reset loaded into everyone's paid Codex and ChatGPT Work accounts. The announcement, quoted verbatim by the willreset.com/tibo tracker from Tibo's X post, calls it "a little celebration day with a new high of 40M active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work," and closes with "See you again tomorrow!"
Note the distinction: this is a banked reset, which sits in the account until the user redeems it. It is not a global reset. The tracker's header still shows the last global reset as Oct 7 03:35 UTC with 60 verified resets.
Context: Day 2 (Oct 6) ended with a full reset chosen by community vote. The same Day 3 post also nods to "the big one is GPT-6 in Chat," referring to the GPT-6 with Intelligent UI rollout reaching all ChatGPT users today.
Why it matters
Forty million active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work is a new disclosed high, and resets are now doubling as growth-celebration mechanics inside the 28-day pledge. Paid users should check their account for an available banked reset, since it does not apply automatically. The daily streak holds: ship or reset, every day, for 28 days.
