If possible, could you please include #1053 in the next release as well?
I am currently logging in and out of the Codex app three times a day just to use the reset button.
Thank you for your great work.

I just tried to add a function and rebased the branch on #1053, but it seems not working (the reset indicator is just disappeared). Trying to check what's happened.

I can see the button and it works too

I made a temporary external CLI for reset credits:

https://github.com/Faizzie7/Codex-LB-Rate-Limit-Reset

It uses your local Codex-LB files, lists accounts/resets, and lets you redeem one from the terminal. Not official, just a stopgap until this is added directly to Codex-LB.

Closing this beta candidate as superseded by the current stable release PR.

Soju06/codex-lb#1087 now carries the 1.21.0 release train, including the Soju06/codex-lb#1053 reset-credit work requested above, and its current head has green CI. This beta PR still has unchecked release-candidate validation items, so the beta guard is correctly failing and the branch should not be merged as-is.

Keeping the unvalidated beta child open would continue producing expected red workflow runs. Please use Soju06/codex-lb#1087 as the active release PR for this train.
