OpenAI Resets Quotas: Codex & ChatGPT Credits Last Longer

OpenAI is resetting usage quotas for paying users of Codex and ChatGPT Work. This comes after an overhaul of their usage calculation mechanism. Tibo, head of Codex, announced that the same credit allowance should now last 10% to 50% longer. This is because they fixed several bugs that were causing credits to deplete too quickly. For example, a context compression bug was keeping old images in the system, leading to unnecessary re-compressions. Fixing this dropped usage by about 10% for some users. Another major issue involved Codex's goal mechanism. In some cases, the AI continued working even after a task was completed or repeatedly retried a broken tool. This single issue could consume between 15% and 70% of a user's weekly quota. The bottom line: These fixes mean users will get more actual work done with the same amount of credits.
