OpenAI Lifts ChatGPT Work and Codex Usage Limits

OpenAI announced this week that it is temporarily lifting the 5-hour usage limit for its ChatGPT Work and Codex services. This change applies to users subscribed to the Plus, Business, and Pro tiers. The company stated that this measure is being implemented to provide greater flexibility and access to its tools for these user groups.

In conjunction with the removal of usage caps, OpenAI has also made its GPT 5.6 Sol model more efficient. This enhancement is intended to allow users to achieve more with their allocated usage, effectively extending the utility of the service even without a strict time limit. The specific details of the efficiency improvements were not disclosed, but the company indicated that this would translate to a more extended experience for users.

The decision to remove the usage limits is described as a temporary measure. OpenAI has not provided a specific end date for this policy change, nor has it detailed the criteria that might lead to the reintroduction of limits. The company's communication suggests a focus on user experience and accessibility in the short term. This move could potentially impact how businesses and individuals integrate ChatGPT Work and Codex into their daily workflows, allowing for more continuous or intensive use of the AI tools.
