Personal, Global and Banked Codex Resets Explained

Personal window recovery

This is the recovery time displayed for your own allowance. The personal timer follows the time you enter; it does not know whether your balance actually recovered. Check the account again when the timer finishes.

An extra global reset

This is a publicly announced additional reset for a stated audience. It is not a fixed recurring schedule. Track the announcement, its promised window, and any later completion statement separately.

A window ending at midnight is a deadline in a stated timezone, not proof that the reset happens at exactly midnight. If the timezone is ambiguous, do not invent one.

A stored or banked reset

A stored reset grant and an automatic usage refill are different events. Use the expiry, redemption details and eligibility shown in your account or the original offer.

The history archive labels banked-grant announcements separately. They do not increase the automatic-global-reset count.

What a confirmation means

A reviewed completion announcement establishes what the source publicly said. It does not provide per-account telemetry, and it does not guarantee that every visitor has received the change.
