The double the allocation is gone just like that—restrictions are tightened up and the user experience drops off a cliff. It’s really hard not to make people think there’s more going on with this move.

CryptoWorld News reports that OpenAI officially ended its Codex double quota promotion, which began in early April, on June 1, while also tightening the quota reset cycle for free and lower-tier subscription users. The reset cycle for the free version and the Go plan has been extended from “weekly” to “monthly,” and the daily available quota has been significantly reduced by nearly 75%. On the same day, the double quota benefits for premium paid users such as Plus and Pro also expired, leaving high-intensity coding groups facing a “quota shortage.” This policy change sparked intense backlash on social media and within developer communities, with users generally saying that daily restrictions have become extremely strict and the user experience has suffered a sharp drop. In addition, developers have questioned the coding stability of the models, believing that OpenAI may be controlling costs by tightening limits and implicitly downgrading model performance.
