2x Limits

[PanicIsReal]

Maybe my reading comprehension sucks but in Codex CLI it says

Try the Codex App with 2x rate limits until April 2nd. Does that mean ONLY the App has 2x limits? Or are they global no matter where you utilize Codex?

The rate limit increases were announced as part of the app launch, but they apply regardless of whether you're using the app. Enjoy!

Thanks for the reply

That message was indeed making it appear it was exclusive to the Codex App. It'd be unfair to Windows/Linux users, so I figured it was global but wanted to confirm. Thanks for clarifying!

Could you please clarify if this is USAGE limits in general or just RATE limits in particular. Are we getting double the usage limit of our plan - or just able to make more requests within a certain timeframe?

[etraut-openai]

For each subscription plan, there is a maximum usage for each of two time windows: 5 hours and 7 days. During this promotional period, we've double the maximum usage for both of these windows. That means you are getting double the normal usage limit for your plan.

I think the wording needs to be clarified

We'd love some consistency on this, this is the second time support is confirming the opposite, after requesting explicit clarification

And prior to that:

I'm still not receiving the x2 promo as I suspected. Confirmed this today by comparing with a friend that also has the Plus plan and was able to use over 400M tokens on a week in February while my weekly limit is ~250M tokens. Soon the promo will be over and I wasn't able to take advantage of it :)
