We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time. Starting today, we’re rolling out the ability to save rate limit resets to use later. We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset:

A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.
| Compared with | Launches | Median views | This one | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product news the same kind of announcement | 769 | 805K | 6.6x | 81 |
| over 100K followers accounts of a similar size | 611 | 1.4M | 3.9x | 129 |

What this launch shows
The post went out from an account with 5.4M followers and was seen by fewer people than follow the account. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.
It ranks 129 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 7.8 times the median of 688K views.
Quote posts led, 2K of them at 3 per 10,000 views against a median of 1.3. People were adding their own take, which is how a launch gets argued about and carried into audiences the account does not have.
Bookmarks: 4K. Reposts: 2K. One bookmark for every 6.2 likes is a low ratio for a launch, and reads as entertainment more than intent.
The first line is “We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time”. It carries a 28-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory. The copy runs 42 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Friday. Launches posted on a Friday have a median of 880K views in the directory, which makes it the strongest day.
Giving people something to reply to covers this: the conversation is what carried this one. For the next one, read developer marketing strategy: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them.
X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
