OpenAI Codex Hits 25 Million Users, Resets Paid Quotas for Second Straight Day

OpenAI’s Codex has reached 25 million active users, and the company marked the milestone by resetting usage allocations for all paid Codex and ChatGPT Work customers for the second consecutive day. The latest reset follows one the previous day, when OpenAI stepped in over eight categories of abnormal quota consumption. After that first reset, Tibo, OpenAI’s head of core products, said the planned milestone celebration had to be pushed to today because the reset button had already been pressed. The second reset has now arrived as promised. Codex has been adding users quickly. On August 21, Tibo announced the product passed 20 million active users and gave users a storable quota reset. In the ten days since, the user base has grown by another 5 million, bringing the total to 25 million. Tibo also joked that more news from “The Reset Company” would be coming soon. For paid users, that means two quota resets in two days.

XRP Ledger active users top 500,000 as activity shifts toward existing accounts

XRP Ledger’s active user count reached 500,300, according to data cited by Techub from U.Today, marking a 187.1% increase from the previous period. At the same time, successful transactions rose to about 1.5 million, while payment transactions climbed 53.5% to 705,100. Transactions per ledger also increased 131.2%. The data pointed to a different pattern beneath the headline growth. New accounts and active account counts fell 34.6% and 26.9%, respectively, suggesting the increase was driven primarily by stronger activity from existing users rather than a wave of new participants entering the network. Payment value moved in the opposite direction. Total payments dropped 17.8% to about 245.2 million XRP. Taken together, the figures show a mixed picture for the network: higher user and transaction activity, but lower payment volume over the same period.

OpenAI says ChatGPT tops 1 billion active users worldwide, with more than 2 million enterprise customers

OpenAI said ChatGPT had surpassed 1 billion active users globally as of the end of July, while its enterprise customer count rose above 2 million. The company outlined a rapid user growth path from 1 million registrations within five days of launch to 200 million in August 2024, 500 million in August 2025, and 800 million in October 2025. OpenAI also said it had previously projected internally that the user base would exceed 1 billion by the end of last year, but growth later stalled, with the latest 100 million users taking about five months to add. To strengthen its service lineup, the company is rolling out GPT-5.6 Sol, the agent tool ChatGPT Work, and lower-priced models GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-5.6 Luna. Beyond product updates, OpenAI is also advancing the Stargate project in the United States with Oracle and SoftBank, and building data centers in South Korea with Samsung and SK.
