OpenAI Reinstates 5-Hour Limit for Plus Members: Codex, Work Collaboration Restricted

Dynamic Beating AI News Flash: OpenAI Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux announced that Plus users will have their 5-hour usage limit reinstated, affecting both ChatGPT Work and Codex. The $100 and $200 Pro tiers will not be reinstated for now and will remain on hold for at least the next few months.

This 5-hour limit was previously temporarily lifted by OpenAI. Sottiaux explained that the reinstatement has two main purposes: to spread out the computational demand and avoid a sudden surge of users all running at once, and to prevent Plus users from using up their entire weekly quota in one go.
