Mathematicians report unlimited tokens; likely just OpenAI's lenient Codex resets
JacquesThibs · x · 2026-09-24
Several mathematicians report mysteriously getting near-unlimited token quotas, sparking debate about whether OpenAI is deliberately identifying and favoring math researchers.
- The original poster argues OpenAI clearly has the capability to identify mathematicians, and its feigned surprise that their work could be used without consent is questionable
- JacquesThibs puts >90% probability on a mundane explanation: mathematicians simply don't know OpenAI is generous with Codex resets, and few of them are even on X
- He also finds ChatGPT feels unlimited for him, even when Codex is rate limited
