[OpenAI Reinstates 5-Hour Limit for Plus Members: Codex and Work Tightened Together] Beating AI Newsflash: OpenAI Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux announced that the 5-hour usage limit for Plus users will be reinstated, affecting both ChatGPT Work and Codex. The $100 and $200 Pro tiers will not be restored for the time being, with the current status quo expected to continue for at least the next few months. This 5-hour limit had previously been temporarily lifted by OpenAI. Sottiaux explained that the reinstatement is primarily due to two reasons: first, to distribute computational demand more evenly and avoid a surge of simultaneous usage; second, to prevent Plus users from burning through their entire weekly quota in one go.
