[Codex Users Surge to 6 Million, OpenAI Temporarily Lifts 5-Hour Usage Limit] According to monitoring by Beating, OpenAI's core product lead Tibo stated that the combined active users of Codex and ChatGPT Work have reached 6 million. Codex will temporarily lift the 5-hour usage limit for Plus, Business, and Pro plans, and all quotas will be reset once. OpenAI is also adjusting the usage calculation for GPT-5.6 Sol. The new version will reduce the quota consumption for similar tasks, though the exact reduction has not yet been disclosed. For high-frequency users, these two adjustments will directly extend continuous usage time. Codex user growth continues to accelerate. Axios reported in early June that its weekly active users had just surpassed 5 million, marking a more than sixfold increase since the desktop version's release in February. Just over a month later, the official figure has risen to 6 million. [Original Link]
