OpenAI Resets Usage Limits for Codex and ChatGPT Work After Global Outage
OpenAI has reset the usage limits for all Codex and ChatGPT Work users following a brief, near-global service outage that occurred between 2 AM and 4 AM. The systems have since been fully recovered and stabilized. This reset helps mitigate the disruption for developers and enterprise teams who rely on these AI tools for daily coding and workflow automation. It ensures that users do not lose their allocated quotas or productivity time due to unexpected platform downtime. The outage was temporary but widespread, lasting approximately two hours.
