OpenAI rolled out several updates over the last 48 hours regarding Codex and ChatGPT Work:
- Temporarily removed the 5-hour usage limit for all Plus / Business / Pro plans.
- Plans to make GPT-5.6 Sol more efficient across the board, meaning the same tasks will consume less quota; specific effects will be shared later.
- Officially stated that active users have reached 6 million, and a usage reset will be completed within an hour.
The core focus is on relaxed product limits, improved model efficiency, and continued user base growth.
