ChatGPT Pro cuts Codex limits for GPT-5.5
A subscriber to the $200 ChatGPT Pro plan has reported on X that their Codex usage limits have been heavily nerfed, burning through 45% of their weekly allowance in just two days of using GPT-5.5. The user expressed frustration, noting that they previously never had to worry about limits and that the current Codex experience feels completely different from the prior week.
Quietly reducing usage limits on premium, high-cost tiers can quickly erode trust among developer power users who rely on these tools.
* The rollout of GPT-5.5 is likely putting a massive strain on OpenAI's compute infrastructure, prompting aggressive, unannounced throttling.
* Power users paying $200 a month expect reliable, near-unlimited access; sudden restrictions degrade the perceived value of the subscription.
* This situation highlights the inherent risks of relying on proprietary cloud services, potentially driving developers toward open-source or more transparent alternatives.
