Codex 28-day run, day 27: OpenAI's Tibo posts "Banked 1/2" as the first of two saved usage resets lands
At 00:43 UTC on Nov 1, Tibo (@thsottiaux), who works on Codex and ChatGPT at OpenAI, posted "Banked 1/2" on X; the post has about 6,860 likes and 660K views. In his day 26 post the day before he had teased that "next two days will be resets… banked…", so this is day 27 of his 28-day run: the first of two Codex usage resets you can save and use when you choose. According to OpenAI's Help Center, a banked reset does not refresh usage on arrival; you redeem it in desktop Settings > Usage & billing, web Usage settings, or /usage in the CLI. Eligible plans and the expiry for this particular offer have not been published.

Microsoft Research and UC Berkeley open-source TokenEconomizer, a plugin that cuts Claude Code and Codex costs by 18.4–30.9% on SWE-Bench without changing the agent
Microsoft Research, Microsoft Security and UC Berkeley open-sourced TokenEconomizer on GitHub (Apache 2.0, v0.1.0 released October 26), a plugin for Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI and Pi, with experimental opencode support. It learns from earlier sessions in the same repository: micro-skills remember repo facts, tool pruning drops tool definitions that go unused, and a loop guard nudges an agent that is stuck. The paper reports 18.4–30.9% lower mean cost across five agent and model combinations on 277 SWE-Bench tasks (paper figures).
