## FAQ

### How does the extra-reset forecast work?

It calculates the chance of an automatic reset in the next 48 hours based on public reset history and social media posts, placing it at a conservative time.

### Do I need an API key to use the Codex plugin?

No, reading your quota is local and read-only, so no separate API key is required.

### What usage strategies are available?

The planner offers five strategies: Keep pace, Keep available, Use it all, Weekdays only, and Weekend focus.

### Is my data sent to a server when using the website?

No, all calculations are performed in your browser and your inputs are not sent anywhere.
