Codex banked resets: when should you use one?
Banked resets are useful when you need Codex now, but using one too early can waste a scarce recovery option.

Use it for urgent deep work
Redeem a banked reset when you have a long task that cannot wait for natural recovery and would otherwise be blocked.
Do not waste it on light work
If you only need quick edits, docs, or low-cost planning, save the banked reset and run lighter tasks.
Check expiration
If your reset has an expiration window, use it before it disappears, but still avoid burning it on trivial work.
