According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, OpenAI officially ended its double quota promotion for Codex on June 1, which had started in early April, while quietly tightening the reset cycle for free and lower-tier subscription users. The reset cycle for the free version and the Go plan has been extended from 'weekly' to 'monthly', while the total available amount per month has not increased, effectively reducing the daily available quota by nearly 75%. The double quota benefits for higher-tier paid users such as Plus and Pro also expired on the same day, leaving high-intensity coding groups facing an immediate 'quota crisis'. This sudden policy adjustment has sparked strong complaints and criticism on social media and within the developer community. Free version users have expressed frustration that the extended reset cycle has completely disrupted the iterative rhythm of high-frequency development. Paid subscription users have also reported that daily limits have become extremely strict, often triggering a 5-hour rolling throttle after working in Codex for less than half an hour, leading to a dramatic decline in actual usage experience, with developers commonly lamenting that 'the experience has been outpaced by the neighboring Claude Code'. In addition to the quota reduction, the developer community has raised serious concerns about the coding stability of the model itself. Many developers have reported a degradation in GPT-5.5's coding capabilities recently, with significant reductions in logical processing. Some developers believe that OpenAI, amid a shortage of computing power and high inference costs, is indirectly controlling expenses by tightening restrictions and subtly downgrading model performance, and even suspect that the company is intentionally reclaiming GPU computing power in preparation for the upcoming release of a new model.
