Hello. We have reached 8M active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work. We are once again resetting the usage limits for all. And we continue to not have the 5h rate limit as well, allowing everyone to explore the boundaries of GPT-5.6 Sol and discover how ambitious you can be.

The 14 July note is the one to show civilians who think a reset is only a number going to zero. Tibo was also leaving the collar off. No five-hour rate limit, on purpose, so the new model could be used like a stove instead of a tea light.

That kind of unlock is why this site is a newsroom. A tracker box cannot say they lifted the leash. A paragraph can. When the five-hour window came back later in the summer, it was not a betrayal. It was the end of an exhibit.

What it means

  • Two events glued together: a flush and a policy unlock. The post says the 5h rate limit continues not to be there, so people can explore the boundaries of GPT-5.6 Sol.
  • 8M was a combined Work and Codex figure. Later for Codex counts are not the same ruler.
