OpenAI has made several adjustments for Codex and ChatGPT Work:
- Temporarily removed the 5-hour usage limits for Plus, Business, and Pro plans.
- GPT-5.6 Sol has undergone global efficiency optimizations, which will subsequently result in lower usage consumption and longer run times.
- Officially stated they have reached 6 million active users and will complete a usage reset within an hour.
The overall signal is: OpenAI is relaxing usage limits while continuing to improve the cost-effectiveness and availability of GPT-5.6.
