OpenAI gives 8,000 people ten times the Codex quota: GPT-5.5 party turns into a one-month developer user acquisition battle
According to Beating Monitoring, OpenAI has sent emails to over 8,000 developers who applied to attend the GPT-5.5 offline party, increasing their personal ChatGPT account Codex rate limits by 10 times, effective immediately and lasting until June 5.
Regardless of whether they received an invitation to the party, all applicants can receive this reward.
The daily usage cap for Codex is set according to subscription tiers, and a 10-fold increase means developers can significantly increase the frequency of prototyping, debugging, and deploying using GPT-5.5.
Whether this increase stacks with the $200 Pro user 20x multiplier is still controversial: some users say OpenAI customer support replies that they take the higher of the two values and do not stack, but OpenAI has not officially responded.
CEO Sam Altman previewed on X before the email was sent that he would “do something good” for those who did not receive an invitation.
The post received over 520k views within hours.
The GPT-5.5 offline party is scheduled for 5:55 PM Pacific Time on May 5 in San Francisco, with 8,000 sign-ups filling up within 24 hours.
On the same night, Anthropic will also hold a media briefing for the Code with Claude developer conference in San Francisco, with the two events nearly overlapping.
A month-long window of high free usage essentially serves as an experiment in developer habit formation: when the quota resets on June 5, developers who have integrated Codex into their daily workflows will most likely need to choose to pay to continue.
