OpenAI Removes 5-Hour Limit

Users are praising OpenAI's removal of the 5-hour limit as a positive change, eliminating cooldown periods and enabling faster iteration.

One user noted this creates a better balance for both users and OpenAI: those needing more capacity can simply upgrade to a paid plan. The "bank-style" reset is also viewed as more practical than waiting out every 5-hour cycle, with hopes that this adjustment will be expanded.
