Question Someone Please Explain Codex Usage Limit

I have been using claude code for a while in regards to a general coding tool, but I started to use codex recently on gpt-5.6 terra for testing code generations, basically playing with it. I am still on the free plan, and I have asked codex to code 2 files in its own way just as a comparison with claude code, and I noticed I am already on 66% left of my MONTHLY usage. I just want to know, is it a 5 hour reset like claude or is it actually waiting a month to reuse it efficiently on free mode? and is there a weekly reset in free mode instead of monthly? Thank you to anyone who helps!

Then you should try my project: www.freepi.ai It's free coding harness (ad+training supported) currently with deepseek v4 flash! So quite good and fast.
