What it does
The plugin and Windows 10 and 11 program watch Codex usage limits. When a limit resets, the program continues exactly the conversation that stopped, through the official `codex queue` command. It finds the conversation by thread UUID, without `--last` and without typing into the Codex window. Beyond limits it recovers 429 errors, network failures, timeouts, 5xx responses and dropped streams, but only failures Codex recorded specifically and that are safe to retry. It does not touch user cancellation, permission prompts, content policy, invalid requests, context overflow, permanent authentication failures and unclassified errors. When unsure it waits and does not send, and it never resends a message that may have been delivered. Settings live in the Dashboard from the Start menu, in a panel inside Codex and on the command line. There are a standard and an advanced edition: the advanced one adds capabilities that deliberately depart from project standards, each off until you turn it on in the Advanced features page.
Who it is for. Codex users on Windows whose long tasks hit limits and stall overnight until the reset.
Good fit when
- A long task stopped on a limit and you want it to continue after the reset without your input
- The network dropped a response mid-work and the conversation must continue safely without duplicating a message
- You need a log and a notification about which conversations wait to be resumed
- Several conversations wait for the reset and each must continue by its own UUID
Not a fit when
- You are not on Windows 10 or 11: the program is built only for them
- You need to bypass or raise the limit: the project only waits for the reset and does not change the limit
- Codex is not open on the needed conversation and you do not want to enable advanced features
Example request
Install Codex Auto Resume and set up resuming the conversation after the limit resetsLimitations
- Works only on Windows 10 and 11.
- The conversation must be open in Codex at resume time. After an app restart, open it once and resuming goes on by itself. The advanced edition can run a conversation while Codex is closed.
- The installer is not code-signed: Windows shows a SmartScreen warning, and the checksum is compared per `docs/VERIFY.md`.
- The program does not retry failures Codex did not classify.
How to disable. Run the installer in Remove mode or uninstall from the Dashboard; the plugin is removed through `codex plugin` as usual.
FAQ
How does it find the right conversation?
By thread UUID: it never takes the latest conversation and does not guess by title or folder.
What does it not recover?
User cancellation, permission prompts, content policy, context overflow, permanent authentication failures and unclassified errors.
Does the program send data anywhere?
There is no telemetry or analytics. Install from Codex and update checks contact GitHub for the release.
Are administrator rights required?
No. The installer sets the program up for your Windows account only and needs no archive extraction.
Which languages does the interface support?
The README states 22 languages, among them English, Russian, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

README in short
The README briefly says what the program recovers and leaves alone, then covers three install routes, the two editions, the open conversation limitation and links to the full guide, the safety model and privacy.
