OpenAI Resets Codex and ChatGPT Usage Limits
taherdhanera · x · 2026-07-11
The post relays OpenAI's response to recent feedback: they have reset usage limits for Codex and ChatGPT Work, with another adjustment planned for later that same day.
OpenAI also admitted several missteps in this rollout:
- High-compute mode was too easily accessible, but its impact on usage limits wasn't clearly communicated
- A one-time reorganization on the desktop app made common entry points like chats and projects harder to find
- The launch narrative focusing heavily on ChatGPT Work made some Codex users worry that their product was being marginalized
Overall, this represents a rapid course correction regarding product experience and launch communication.
