OpenAI temporarily removes 5-hour Codex usage limit

Lifting the usage limit temporarily is a smart data-gathering and marketing play to boost user activity, though developers remain skeptical of transient access.

* Temporary removal suggests OpenAI may be testing infrastructure capacity under high load or collecting additional training data.

* Developer responses highlight skepticism, with some labeling it as a marketing gimmick to re-engage users.

* Users are left wondering when the limit will be reinstated and what the permanent pricing/usage tier structure will look like post-trial.
