I wonder is there a timer when zeroGPU resets? I think 24h have passed and I still have my limits? It’s 40 min every day right or there is some other rules, cuz I’ve run out my 2$ credits or something, maybe it blocked my daily reset??

It’s a long story, but: [skills/huggingface-zerogpu/references/how-quota-works.md · huggingface/skills](https://huggingface.co/buckets/huggingface/skills/tree/skills/huggingface-zerogpu/references/how-quota-works.md#quota-window-24h-fixed-from-first-use)

The important distinction is that ZeroGPU uses a fixed 24-hour quota window rather than a calendar-day reset.

According to the documentation, the window starts with your first GPU usage and resets 24 hours later. So if your first usage was at 3 PM, your next reset should be around 3 PM the following day.

Also, prepaid credits and the included daily quota are separate. Credits allow eligible paid users to extend usage after exhausting their included quota.

You can check your remaining quota and exact reset timestamp using:

`hf spaces zero-gpu quota`

Building on the explanation above, one practical consequence is worth planning around: because the window starts with the first GPU use, even a short test run can start the 24-hour window. It can help to check the quota output first and note the exact reset time it reports, then save a longer run for when you need the full window, rather than treating the reset as happening at midnight.
