Codex's Three New Updates: Sites, Saved Rate-Limit Resets, Memories

Key Takeaways

• Sites (announced June 2, 2026): describe what you want in plain text and Codex builds the page and publishes it at a real, shareable link — no separate developer, hosting setup, or deploy step. Currently limited to Business and Enterprise plans in preview; OpenAI says more plans are coming but gave no date.
• Saved rate-limit resets (June 12, 2026): instead of your usage limit resetting on a fixed clock, you can bank a reset and spend it when you need it. Rolling out to Go, Plus, Pro, and Business; everyone eligible gets one free reset to start.
• Referral resets (June 11–24, 2026): for a limited window, Plus and Pro users can invite up to three friends — when a friend sends their first Codex message, both get an extra reset, good for 30 days.
• European rollout (EEA, UK, Switzerland): Codex brings over features the US already had — computer use (click, type, and operate apps on your screen), a Chrome extension that works across tabs in the background using your signed-in sessions, and memories that learn your preferences and workflow over time.
• Memories caveat: in Europe, memories is off by default — you switch it on yourself. OpenAI is also testing Chronicle, an opt-in preview for Pro users on Mac that builds memory from what's on your screen (early-stage).
• Big picture: these moves turn Codex from a coding assistant into something closer to a general worker that can build pages, drive your computer, work in the browser, and remember how you operate.
