Hello people of Sol! I've reset usage limits for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Together with that, a quick update on GPT-5.6 Sol usage limits.
Over the past few weeks, many of you have told us that Sol was using your Codex limits faster than expected. To be clear, we have not reduced usage on any subscription plans.
We’ve been digging into what was happening and have landed several improvements. As a result, we expect your usage to last around 18% longer during typical use of Sol. Some of you should already see significantly larger improvements from today. Tomorrow, we’ll also restore the five-hour limit that we temporarily paused while investigating.
Here’s what we found:
- GPT-5.6 Sol is much more willing to work for longer, make additional tool calls, and coordinate complex workflows across tools and subagents. That makes it better at solving hard problems, but some tasks were using far more than we intended.
- Sol also works harder at the same reasoning effort than previous models. High on Sol can use more tokens than High did on GPT-5.5.
- Programmatic tool calling, also referred to as code mode, gives Sol much more flexibility to run tool calls in parallel or continue working while waiting. But it also led to more responses per turn, more cached input tokens, and higher usage than expected.
- This was particularly noticeable when Sol was waiting for tool calls to finish or running many web searches. We’ve improved how we handle both cases and are continuing to make code mode more efficient.
- The impact was also very uneven. The median user actually found Sol quite token efficient, while some power users working on harder tasks saw their usage drain much faster. We were very focused on average and median usage before launch and missed some cases where the long tail could use significantly more usage.
Sol is a significant step forward in what Codex can do, but capability and efficiency do not always improve at the same pace, and some issues only become clear once people are using the model at real-world scale. We should have recognized this sooner and been more upfront about it.
You keep pushing the frontier and we’ll keep improving efficiency and sharing updates as we go.

@TTrimoreau annual, no. Not because the models aren't good, but because the landscape reshuffles every quarter and the tool I lean on most today didn't exist a year ago. Monthly is the honest pricing for a market moving this fast

Or… what if we gave you $100 in Codex credits if you tell us what you love about GPT-5.6 Sol or why you switched?
Tweet it, claim your gift, enjoy more usage. First 10k get the free tokens!

Hello beautiful people! We have reset usage limits across Codex and ChatGPT Work. And another one will come later in the day. Rejoice.
Now that I have your attention, a quick update on ChatGPT Work, Codex and all the updates we shared yesterday.
We’ve spent the last 24 hours reading feedback, looking at usage patterns, and talking with many of you. The short version is that there is a *lot* of excitement for GPT 5.6 Sol, ChatGPT Work on mobile & web, but also that we didn't get everything quite right.
- We made it too easy to use the highest-compute settings without making the impact on usage limits sufficiently clear.
- We reorganized the desktop app in one bold move, making familiar things like chats and projects harder to find.
- Our launch framing was focused on ChatGPT Work and to some of our Codex fans it made it feel like Codex was going away over time. Absolutely not our intention, we love Codex and it is here to stay.
- And we introduced regressions for some existing multi-agent workflows, alongside a collection of rough edges in plugins and other parts of the experience.
We’re landing a first set of improvements today. We’re resetting usage twice so people can keep experimenting, changing defaults and the model picker so they don’t push people toward unnecessarily expensive settings, fixing several plugin submission issues, improving how we represent Codex in the product, and cleaning up some of the most immediate desktop problems.
A larger set of improvements will land next week. We’re bringing chats and projects back into the sidebar in a more familiar and customizable way, making usage and reset timing much more visible, clarifying when to use ChatGPT Work and when to use Codex, and addressing the many other smaller pieces of great feedback we've had.
The ambition behind this launch hasn’t changed. We think bringing ChatGPT and Codex together into a workspace where people and agents can collaborate is a very important step forward. But an ambitious direction doesn’t excuse avoidable confusion or regressions in the first version.
Please keep the feedback coming. We’re moving quickly, and you should see the experience already get better with a few updates today; and substantially better again next week.

🖲️ We love our community! To celebrate getting together with many of you we brought @thsottiaux's reset button to AIE World's Fair.
Congrats Melanie for pushing the button 🎉
All Codex Go/Plus/Pro subscribers around the world are receiving a reset in the bank! Happy Codexing!
