CryptoWorld News reports that 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 limit by 10 times, effective immediately and lasting until June 5th. 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 with GPT-5.5. CEO Sam Altman previewed on X before the email was sent that he would “do something good” for applicants who were not invited; the post received over 520k views within hours. The GPT-5.5 offline party is scheduled to be held at 5:55 PM Pacific Time on May 5th in San Francisco, and 8,000 registrations within 24 hours quickly filled the event. On the same evening, Anthropic will also hold a media briefing for the Code with Claude developer conference in San Francisco, with the two companies’ events nearly overlapping.
