OpenAI Releases ChatGPT Work and Codex from the 5-Hour Limitation

OpenAI Adjusts Usage Limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex

OpenAI recently announced a series of changes regarding its ChatGPT Work and Codex tools. These adjustments include temporary changes aimed at providing more flexibility to users of the Plus, Business, and Pro plans. At the same time, the GPT-5.6 Sol model has also undergone improvements to optimize its efficiency.

Removal of Hourly Limit

One of the major changes concerns the removal of the 5-hour usage limit for ChatGPT Work and Codex. This restriction, which could interrupt extended work sessions, has been lifted for an indefinite period. OpenAI clarified that this measure is temporary, without specifying a date for a potential return to the previous limitation.

Improvement of GPT-5.6 Sol

In parallel, OpenAI has optimized its GPT-5.6 Sol model to enhance its efficiency. These adjustments are expected to allow users to consume fewer credits for the same amount of work, thereby enabling them to go further with their usual credit allocation. Although no specific figures have been provided, a member of OpenAI's technical team mentioned that the impact of these improvements is still being evaluated and will be detailed later.

Resetting Usage Counters

Additionally, OpenAI has implemented an immediate reset of usage counters at the time of the announcement. This means that users who have already reached their daily quota are assigned a new usage allocation without having to wait for the usual renewal. This measure, combined with the temporary removal of the hourly limit and efficiency gains, offers greater flexibility to the affected subscribers.

The duration of these adjustments remains uncertain. OpenAI has not specified whether these changes could become permanent or if they respond to a specific temporary demand. Users are therefore encouraged to take advantage of these new conditions while keeping in mind their temporary nature.
