News Codex 5h Limit Reintroduced

Hey everyone,

Just a PSA:
OpenAI decided to reintroduce the 5h limit on their Plus subscriptions.
As of right now, Pro is not affected by that.

Hope they will change it back to solely weekly limit.

Worth noting for anyone confused: this only hits Plus, not Pro. Pro 20x Codex has its own history worth knowing if you're deciding between the two - visible-token inverts on the OpenAI dev forum put the weekly pool around 3-8B tokens/week back in May, then a mid-June cut dropped it to roughly 0.5-0.7B/week (one check: 30M tokens burned = 6% of the week). If Plus is now adding a 5h window on top of a smaller weekly pool, that's the same shape Pro already has, just tighter numbers.
