What it means for your usage
This changes what the app shows. The release notes list no change to usage limits, reset schedules, prices or credits. For iOS users, the chat itself now shows reset times.
The same release adds a pill above the composer for viewing and stopping background commands on supported remote hosts. The notes do not name the tool that runs those remote-host commands. Codex comes up only once in the notes: activity groups are cleaner, and you can open images inspected by Codex on demand.
