Following several weeks during which ChatGPT users were subject only to a weekly usage cap, OpenAI announced today that it is restoring a five-hour limit on Codex and ChatGPT Work for Plus subscribers. Here are the details.
Five-hour cap returns to ChatGPT Plus subscribers
Thibault “Tibo” Sottiaux, OpenAI’s engineering lead for Codex and ChatGPT, announced tonight that a five-hour usage limit is returning to Codex and ChatGPT Work for Plus subscribers starting tomorrow (25).
After users reach either the five-hour or weekly limit, they can either wait for their usage to reset for the next cycle or purchase additional credits. OpenAI also occasionally resets users’ limits for free, while banked resets can be earned through certain promotions and referral offers.
Over the past few weeks, however, OpenAI temporarily lifted the five-hour usage limit for Codex and ChatGPT Work, leaving only the weekly cap in place.
