Back to EpisodesEp. 205 | OpenAI Just Put the Five-Hour Clock Back on Plus
Description
OpenAI just put the five-hour clock back on Plus. Not a new model. A timer.
ChatGPT Plus on Work or Codex. The five-hour cap is stacked on the weekly allowance. Hit either one, wait or buy credits. They did not print a credit price. Pro $100 and $200 stay off the five-hour rule for the upcoming months.
Regular Chat is not what they named. Enterprise and Edu run on a different credit system. This is a receipt check, not a migration. Do not bake a five-hour window into a bid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did every ChatGPT window get a five-hour clock?
No. They named Plus on ChatGPT Work and Codex. Regular Chat was not in that note. If regular Chat is all you open, you got a headline and the same window.
What happens when I hit the cap?
Two clocks: five hours, and the week. Hit either one and you wait for that window to reset, or you buy credits. They did not print what those credits cost.
Does Pro get the five-hour cap too?
Not for now. Pro $100 and Pro $200 stay off the five-hour rule for the upcoming months. Weekly still applies. Do not treat that as a forever promise.
