OpenAI Increases GPT-5 Thinking Usage Limit After Backlash from Users, But There’s a Catch

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on Sunday that the company is increasing the rate limit of the reasoning models for all users. The San Francisco-based AI firm said this new change will affect all model classes; however, this change is temporary. Going forward, the company stated that it will determine how to address this capacity trade-off, suggesting that those on the free tier may lose access to certain features.
