I use only the Dexcom G6 Receiver and I can restart the sensors. Here’s the method posted by @Tigs1962.

> Hi Everyone, I have a 8H transmitter and it took me quite a while to find a reliable way to restart my sensors. The way to restart a sensor with an 8G/8H transmitter is this: STOP the sensor. (Note 1) Remove the transmitter from the sensor using blood testing STRIPS. (Note 2) Keep the transmitter out for 20 minutes (Note 3) Put the transmitter back into the sensor Start the sensor on the app using “Start New Sensor”. Enter its correct serial number. (do NOT use 0000) Wait 2 hours BINGO …

I’ve been successful in restarting 4 sensors 2 times each, for a total of 30 days out of each of those sensors.
