After temporarily lifting Codex's rolling usage cap during the GPT-5.6 Sol surge, OpenAI is bringing it back Thursday with a Sol efficiency improvement meant to offset the tighter window.

OpenAI's services went down again Saturday morning, marking the fourth disruption in four days across ChatGPT, Codex, and the developer API.
