When OpenAI do quota resets (not your scheduled weekly ones, the promotional or apology resets) they don't just reset whatever quota you were on. They give you a token to reset your weekly quota when you like.
replyThey added this a few weeks ago.
replyBefore, they would do their celebrated usage resets while I was behind the already generous weekly quota.
If I had 80% left on Friday to spend over the weekend, they would reset and I'd have 100% until next Friday, a potential net negative.
OpenAI listened to the complaints.
