CodexUsageBar updates

Every release, with the message shown in the app and what changed. The app tells you when a new version is out, and the latest version is always one click away.

New time format: "Resets in 5d 23h" + pacing
Reset times now show as a countdown instead of a date, and your limit resets show when they expire. Also new: an optional pace marker to see if you're on track. Prefer the date format? Switch back in Settings > Reset times.
What changed
  • Reset times show as a countdown, like "Resets in 5d 23h". Prefer dates? Switch in Settings > Reset times, and hover a reset to see the other format.
  • Your rate-limit reset credits now show when they expire, with the soonest one first when you have several.
  • Optional pace marker on the usage bars to see if you're on track (Settings > Show Pace Marker), based on the exact window length reported by OpenAI.
