ChatGPT Work and Codex Usage Limits Lifted by OpenAI

Three things happened in one afternoon from OpenAI, and they compound. The 5-hour usage cap on ChatGPT Work and Codex is gone — temporarily — for Plus, Business, and Pro plans. Your usage counter reset to zero within the hour of the announcement. And GPT-5.6 Sol is about to start drawing less of that allowance per task. This is the most generous Codex window in recent memory, and the right move is to use it now, not to wait and see if it sticks.
