OpenAI is temporarily relaxing GPT-5.6 Sol usage limits after demand for the company's most powerful model surged over the past 48 hours.

On Sunday, OpenAI confirmed that it is temporarily removing the five-hour usage restriction for Plus, Pro, and Business plans, while also resetting current usage for everyone.

"The last 48 hours of Codex and ChatGPT Work have been intense," OpenAI product lead Tibo said in a post on X.

"[We're] temporarily removing the 5 hour usage limit restriction for all Plus, Business and Pro plans."

For those unaware, Codex and ChatGPT count local messages and cloud-based tasks against a shared usage limit.
