OpenAI doubles Codex limits, expands access

OpenAI is including Codex with ChatGPT Free and Go for a limited time while doubling rate limits on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. The change spans the app, CLI, IDE extension, and cloud, making Codex easier to work into everyday developer workflows.

// ANALYSIS

This looks less like a perk than a distribution move: OpenAI is turning Codex's homepage and quotas into an acquisition funnel.

–Free and Go access widens the funnel and lowers the first-try barrier.
–2x limits matter most for long-running, parallel agent jobs that burn quota quickly.
–Applying the same policy across app, CLI, IDE, and cloud reinforces Codex as a single agent layer across workflows.
–The limited-time framing suggests OpenAI is still measuring demand and infrastructure cost as it broadens access.
