- OpenAI is restoring 5-hour usage limits for Codex and Work on ChatGPT Plus, reversing a period of several weeks during which those caps were absent
- ChatGPT Plus users were subject only to a weekly usage cap while the 5-hour limits were suspended
- OpenAI said the reinstated limits are intended to "smoothen the load on its compute"
Why it matters: ChatGPT Plus subscribers lose extended Codex and Work sessions they had for several weeks, and the reversal — publicly attributed to compute load — indicates OpenAI's infrastructure couldn't sustain the looser caps as usage grew.
