On July 12, 2026, a Reddit user on the $200/month ChatGPT Pro plan reported that their usage reset, which was available on July 11, expired before 10:30 PM PST instead of midnight. The user had exhausted their quota and intended to use the reset later that night. OpenAI support acknowledged the bug in a separate chat but stated they could do nothing to restore the reset. The user noted that Anthropic had provided good support multiple times on a similar plan. The post warns other PST or later users that OpenAI only provides a date for resets, not a specific time, making them vulnerable to early expiration.
