OpenAI Resets ChatGPT Work and Codex Usage Limits Twice and Rolls Out App Fixes Following GPT-5.6 Launch

aiai-productsai-agents-coding 70 posts · 46 accounts

OpenAI reset usage limits twice for ChatGPT Work and Codex today and announced immediate software updates to address technical regressions following the launch of GPT-5.6. The company said the reset and changes to the model picker respond to tester feedback that the desktop application made high-compute settings too easy to select without transparent limits on usage counters.

Fixes landing today include patches for plugin submissions and multi-agent workflows, with a broader update scheduled for next week that will return chats and projects to the sidebar and clarify tool selection. OpenAI leadership stated the rollout reflects direct input from developers during the early access period.

I would like to add that OpenAI has been awesome to work with despite the obvious government-related setbacks. They've been more transparent than I'd ever have expected, and they did a good job keeping us in the loop during the confusion.

@emollick

I was an early tester of GPT-5.6 Sol. I was asked to not share demos until after launch but it is a very good model. It is of similar ability, but quite different feel, than Fable. Fable wants to go off and do work on its own pace, Sol is

@mweinbach

I had early access to this model and I'll post more Thursday, but I think the most impressive part is this model NEVER GIVES UP If you throw it in Max reasoning, it will just keep working until it's done. GPT 5.6 Sol is my favorite model

I forgot to mention this gpt-5.6-sol is world leading in computer use. It made me use it 100x more. When we lost access to 5.6, I quickly started to go insane without it
