Frequently asked questions
How far back does this codex reset history go?
As far back as the underlying tracker's records — every row here links to its source so you can verify it yourself; earlier entries without a link are archived records without a captured timestamp.
What's the difference between a reset and a banked reset in this table?
A regular reset clears usage immediately, per the announcement. A banked reset is described as loaded or credited instead — see the kind badge on each row, and /banked-reset/ for the exact wording and what's known (and not known) about what happens after.
