OpenAI said Codex and ChatGPT Work have reached 8 million active users as rapid adoption of GPT-5.6 Sol places growing pressure on the company’s computing infrastructure.
The company reset usage limits for all users and said it would continue operating without the five hour rate limit, giving users more access to GPT-5.6 Sol across Codex and ChatGPT Work.
“We have reached 8M active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work,” OpenAI’s Tibo said. “We are once again resetting the usage limits for all.”
The milestone comes shortly after OpenAI reported that more than 5 million people were using Codex each week, including more than 1 million people using the product for work outside software development.
OpenAI launched GPT-5.6 across ChatGPT, Codex and its API last week. Sol is the flagship model in the new family, alongside the lower cost Terra model and the faster Luna model.
