"OpenAI" announced a set of new updates that give ChatGPT Work and Codex users more flexibility, a step that comes just days after the public release of GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna models.

The most prominent change is the temporary removal of the five-hour usage limit for Plus, Business, and Pro subscribers, a decision that would facilitate long work sessions without interruption.

Temporary removal of restrictions

"OpenAI" previously imposed a usage limit within a five-hour time period, which sometimes led to users being interrupted in the middle of intensive tasks, according to a report published by "digitaltrends" and reviewed by "Al Arabiya Business."

Now, the company has temporarily lifted this restriction, but stressed that the decision is not permanent, without revealing when the previous limits will be reinstated.

GPT-5.6 Sol More Efficient

In addition, "OpenAI" is working to improve the efficiency of the GPT-5.6 Sol model, so that it consumes less usage credit when performing the same tasks.

In other words, users will be able to accomplish more work using the same quota, but the company has not yet specified the extent of improvement in numbers.

Tibo, a member of the technical team at "OpenAI," explained on platform "X" that the company is still measuring the actual impact of these improvements, and details will be announced later.

Reset of usage counter

Another major surprise is that "OpenAI" reset usage counters for all eligible users immediately after the announcement.

This means that users who had consumed their daily quota got a fresh start, with the immediate benefit of the temporary open ceiling and the new efficiency improvements.

Temporary window

Although these steps give ChatGPT Work and Codex users the greatest freedom since the launch of the two services, "OpenAI" has not specified how long these benefits will last, meaning it may be a temporary opportunity before returning to the usual usage limit system.
