@thsottiaux Thank you for the clear explanation, and thank you for your hardwork, you are changing the future, and you are changing OUR future for the better.

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.

@kimmonismus It's cool that they're doing a lot of resets, but this does not justify the insane drainage of tokens, we are sustaining and ok with it currently because of these resets, but what will happen when they stop doing it and we're back on normal use?

This is insane. Another codex reset. Holy.

i just realized gpt-5.6 sol is literally all i need. openai could stop shipping new models tomorrow and i'd be completely fine

wrong

@rezoundous 100%

Codex limits with GPT-5.6 can't sustain without Tibo's resets

It's funny and ironic how great the divide is. What a time to be alive.

Sam Altman „we are now in the singularity“ And yet 99% of people outside of our bubble don’t get what’s happening.

The people getting great UI results with AI aren’t using a secret model or a magic prompt. They know what a great interface looks like, and they know how to steer AI towards it. Work that used to take a week takes a day, and the quality bar doesn’t drop, it goes up, because you spend your time on the things that matter. At the end of the day, people that use AI best are the ones that were excellent before LLMs as well. The ones that got the fundamentals right, went that extra mile, and cared about the thing they were working on.

@leanderriefel Hahahaha I think about that all the time

Do we think there are Codex users that are not on X and just lightly use the app and are extremely confused that they get free usage resets every other week

first time trying gpt 5.6 sol

@kimmonismus Lol, I went back to 5.5 to be able to finish work, 5.6 is good but very expensive it's unrealistic and it makes it unusable even though it's good

Seriously, this has to stop. I've now set GPT-5.6 from high to medium (not fast mode, of course), and I'm still burning through my rates at an insane rate. My 5 hours are almost gone -again. I've already used up all three resets. OpenAI needs to work on its efficiency. This is the biggest bottleneck.

@thsottiaux @rafaelobitten I already started going back to 5.5, 5.6 is consuming so much tokens it's unreliable and unrealistic even on medium.

@rafaelobitten Not correct but team is triple checking!

Hey everyone, I suspect the Codex usage limits are being consumed much faster because of the increased context window, which falls into the API’s higher pricing tier and likely burns through the usage allowance more quickly as well. To be safe, I reduced it to 258k, and I’ll monitor the usage. Can u confirm that @thsottiaux ?

The `/human-taste` skill is crazy good...

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something. There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.

ai-fed, human-finished.

@jxnlco I don't know why but ChatGPT seems more conversational and more creative when I use it for brainstorming, but the price is that you have to figure out how to handoff that brainstorming session from ChatGPT to Codex and it feels so disconnected, vise versa

If you use Codex, is there any reason you still use ChatGPT? what do you use it for? how has it been better or critical for you?

@testingcatalog So if you slide all the way to fast, it becomes very fast but stupid!? Not sure if this is the right approach, Just leave it as it is, what we have now is clear enough

OpenAI is testing a new effort-selector UI for Codex as a slider. Besides that, it seems that real-time voice support will be completely reworked, as the previously available components have been removed.

Those silent moments while waiting for your 5h limit to reset after hitting the token limit.

Most fortunes are built out of spite.
