Is GPT-5.6 Sol Burning Through Quotas Faster?

Blake08301 · reddit · 2026-07-14

A user reports that after running a single long task on GPT-5.6 Sol for about 28 minutes, over 75% of their 5-hour usage quota was consumed.

Comparing this to their experience with GPT-5.5 a month ago—where tasks could run much longer—they suspect GPT-5.6 Sol is burning through quotas faster, or that there have been undisclosed changes to how usage is billed/deducted. The user notes this is just personal testing data but hopes OpenAI will be more transparent about the quota mechanism.
