AI BriefingOpenAI Temporarily Eases Usage Limits for GPT-5.6 Sol
Key point
In response to a surge in demand, OpenAI has temporarily lifted the 5-hour usage limit for GPT-5.6 Sol and reset usage counts.
Details
OpenAI is temporarily relaxing usage limits for GPT-5.6 Sol in response to a surge in demand over the past 48 hours. For Plus, Pro, and Business plan users, the existing 5-hour usage limit has been temporarily removed, and current usage for all users has been reset.
OpenAI is also working in parallel to improve the model's efficiency. GPT-5.6 Sol is being optimized to consume fewer resources, allowing users to accomplish more work before hitting limits. This is expected to be achieved by lowering token consumption.
With this measure, users can now use the flagship model much more freely for coding and agentic work. However, this measure does not make model usage completely unlimited.
