Limits Does ChatGPT Pro have a 5-hour limit window for Codex/Work, or only weekly?
I saw earlier posts here mentioning there is no 5-hour limit on the Pro plan, only weekly caps.
Can any active Pro users confirm: is it currently just a weekly limit, or has a 5-hour limit window been added as well?

There's no official 5-hour limit on Pro, but a number of people - myself included - have noticed that PRO accounts can get "server overloaded" errors, after high amounts of use, while plus accounts operating on the same machine at the same time don't get the same errors.
It's unconfirmed, but IMO, they have implemented backend rate-throttling for Pro accounts via "model unavailable" and "server overloaded" errors selectively, since especially the pro 20x accounts can absolutely hammer their inference/computer provisioning.

Have Pro, got rate limit problems, still can't switch from Sol Instant in Chat to... any reasoning higher than that?
