📜 The Archive of Announcements

🌟 Milestones & Celebrations

"Enjoy reset usage limits for all paid users for Codex and ChatGPT Work."

The team is iterating at lightspeed to maintain infrastructure during this rapid scaling. Notable highlights include:

• The 9M Mark: Reached earlier than expected, though the announcement was delayed by the "millions of things" required to keep systems stable.
• The 8M Mark: Users were encouraged to explore the boundaries of GPT-5.6 Sol without the usual 5-hour rate limit.
• The 7M Mark: To celebrate, a banked reset was added to all accounts.
• The 3M Mark: A jump from 2M users in less than a month triggered another limit wipe.
• Anniversary: On its 1-year anniversary, Codex was actually allowed to reset its own rate limits across all plans.

🛠️ Technical Turbulence & Fixes

The road to scaling hasn't been smooth. Below is a summary of the "chaos":

Incident Log:

• Cache Hit Issue: An optimization caused limits to drain faster during long sessions. $\rightarrow$ Rolled back & reset.
• Reliability Dip: Three separate small incidents in 24 hours. $\rightarrow$ Mitigated & reset.
• Cyber Risk Bug: Requests were erroneously blocked as "high cyber risk." $\rightarrow$ Fixed in $\approx 8$ minutes.
• Promo Glitch: A $2\times$ promotional increase failed to apply to $\approx 9\%$ of Plus/Pro users. $\rightarrow$ Corrected.
• Fraud Detection: A pocket of fraudulent accounts was discovered and purged.

The "Banked Reset" Evolution: Initially, banked resets were only available via the desktop app. The team later expanded this:

• Web Interface $\checkmark$
• Mobile App $\checkmark$

💡 Internal Lore & Personnel

• The New Recruit: @_rajanagarwal has joined the fold to spearhead model research and enhance coding capabilities.
• The Irony: One particular week at OpenAI was officially dubbed "The Work Week" "RESET week", coinciding perfectly with a series of hard resets for users.

💻 System Command Simulation

If the reset process were a script, it would look something like this:

# Triggering a global usage reset
sudo systemctl restart codex-limits.service --all-paid-plans
echo "Limits restored. Enjoy GPT-5.5!"

⚠️ Final Warning

As noted by the administration:

"Don't just reset Codex rate limits for fun, it costs money."
