- Over the past 48 hours, there are three changes to Codex and ChatGPT Work:
- Temporarily lifted the 5-hour usage cap for all Plus, Business, and Pro subscriptions.
- Rolling out adjustments to make GPT-5.6 Sol more efficient, expected to reduce consumption and make quotas last longer, with specific benefits to be announced later.
- Active users reached 6 million, and a usage reset will be completed in the next hour.
The overall tone is "keep going," with the core message being relaxed usage limits, optimized model efficiency, and user growth.
