OpenAI Lifts ChatGPT Work & Codex Usage Limits

OpenAI is temporarily removing the 5-hour usage limit for ChatGPT Work and Codex on Plus, Business, and Pro plans. This change means users can now work without interruption during long sessions. What's more, OpenAI is also rolling out efficiency improvements for its GPT 5.6 Sol model. This means your usage should go further than before, consuming less for the same work. The exact impact is still being quantified. Here's the thing: OpenAI is also performing a usage reset within the hour of this announcement. So, if you've already used your allowance today, your counter will start fresh. The bottom line: These updates, including the temporarily lifted cap and efficiency improvements, make this the most generous version of ChatGPT Work and Codex seen in a while. This matters because it offers users more flexibility and productivity for now.
