OpenAI said it will not change Codex usage limits without first discussing the issue with the community. In its response, the company said its investigation found that some affected users were using sub2api to convert subscriptions into API traffic and redistribute that traffic, which caused those accounts to be flagged by fraud-prevention systems. OpenAI also said normal subscription use through Sign in With ChatGPT remains fine when users access official clients or open-source clients such as Pi and OpenCode. The response did not announce a policy change, only the company’s explanation of why the usage-limit difference appeared and which usage patterns were flagged.
