Codex-Cursor-Unlimited is a PowerShell-based utility that resets usage limits for AI coding assistants including Claude, Cursor IDE, and Codex (ChatGPT). It works by clearing cached authentication data and session tokens, allowing temporary bypass of rate limits and usage restrictions.
Important: This tool modifies application data and may violate terms of service. Use responsibly and be aware that it may only work a limited number of times before requiring alternative data changes.
Run directly in PowerShell with execution policy bypass:
For environments with restricted PowerShell policies:
Works in any Windows Terminal tab (PowerShell, CMD, or custom profiles). Paste the appropriate command and press Enter.
The script performs the following operations:
Execute the reset immediately without saving the script:
Download and inspect before running:
Check if the reset worked by examining modification times:
Create a scheduled task for periodic resets:
Run before starting intensive coding sessions:
Cause: Execution policy is blocking the script.
Solution: Use the CMD version which bypasses the policy:
Cause: PowerShell version is too old (pre-5.1).
Solution: Use full cmdlet names:
Or update PowerShell:
Cause: Script modifies system-level data, triggering heuristic detection.
Solution: Add temporary exclusion for %TEMP% directory:
Cause: AI service has updated detection mechanisms.
Solution: The project readme notes this may happen. You'll need to:
Cause: Applications were running during reset.
Solution: Close all AI coding tools before running the script:
If the reset tool stops working, consider:
