OpenAI Clarifies Usage Limits: Cracking Down on Subscription-to-API Abuse
Dimillian · x · 2026-08-21
OpenAI engineer Thomas Sottiaux addressed community concerns regarding Codex usage limits, stating they do not change quotas without transparency. Investigations revealed that many affected users were utilizing 'sub2api' to convert subscription traffic into API access for multiple users, a practice flagged as fraud. Users accessing ChatGPT via official sign-in methods (clients or authorized OSS clients) remain unaffected.
