An OpenAI-linked update says Sol usage should now last about 18% longer in typical use, with even larger gains for some power users.
The team says Sol had been burning through Codex limits faster than expected because it works longer, calls more tools, and pushes harder on difficult tasks.
To fix that, they improved efficiency around tool waits and large web searches, reset usage limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex users, and said the temporary five-hour limit will return the next day.
