Angaisb_ · x · 2026-08-30
OpenAI announced a usage limit reset for all paid Codex and ChatGPT Work users alongside several optimizations. Key fixes include:
- Compaction: Resolved an issue where old image layers caused oversized contexts and redundant compaction, reducing usage by 10% for heavy image users.
- Memory: Fixed background memory leaks to lower unnecessary resource consumption.
These improvements are expected to extend usage duration by 10% to 50% under the same quota.
