Tibo announces global ChatGPT usage reset for all paid plans, landing tomorrow 10am PST
OpenAI Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux (@thsottiaux) announced a global usage reset for all paid ChatGPT accounts landing tomorrow 10am PST, apologizing for the slow GPT-6.1 Sol start and noting speeds have recovered.
What happened
Thibault Sottiaux (@thsottiaux), who leads Codex at OpenAI, posted on X on the evening of October 1, 2026 (US time): "Global reset landing tomorrow 10am PST for all paid ChatGPT accounts. Apologies for the slow start with GPT-6.1 Sol, it's now back to running at expected speeds after the massive load spike in the first two days." The reset covers all paid ChatGPT plans. Community reset trackers picked it up within the hour.
Why it matters
GPT-6.1 Sol launched at DevDay 2026 on September 29 and immediately hit a massive load spike that slowed it for two days. This is the first global usage reset since the September 27 reset, and OpenAI is pairing it with confirmation that Sol speeds are back to expected levels — a goodwill move timed with the new model's rough debut week.
