OpenAI Resets ChatGPT Work and Codex Usage Limits
OpenAI reset limits after GPT-5.6 Sol consumed Codex faster than expected.
Tibo Sottiaux announced a full reset of usage limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex subscribers after users reported GPT-5.6 Sol consuming tokens faster than intended. Engineers identified that the model works longer, calls more tools, and coordinates subagents on difficult tasks. Several improvements were shipped to increase typical token efficiency. The five-hour rate limit returns tomorrow. No subscription plans saw reduced quotas. Power users noted heavy consumption during complex workflows, prompting the adjustments and reset.

Tibo@thsottiauxHello people of Sol! I've reset usage limits for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Together with that, a quick update on GPT-5.6 Sol usage limits. Over the past few weeks, many of you have told us that Sol was using your Codex limits faster than expected. To be clear, we have…

V( Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav@reach_vbHola! quick usage update on usage patterns for Sol: We’ve shipped several improvements that should make typical Sol usage last ~18% longer, with significantly larger gains for some power users. The five-hour limit will also return tomorrow. The reason: Sol works longer, calls…

CH Chubby♨️@kimmonismusAnother reset and a fix that should make GPT-5.6 18% more token efficient. Both are very welcome. The effort OpenAI is currently putting into Codex and its model is impressive. (I’d like to know how much money the repeated resets cost OpenAI. But surely millions.)
