You can now get more Codex usage from your plan and credits with three updates today:
1️⃣ GPT-5-Codex-Mini — a more compact and cost-efficient version of GPT-5-Codex
2️⃣ 50% higher rate limits for ChatGPT Plus, Business, and Edu
3️⃣ Priority processing for ChatGPT Pro and Enterprise
GPT-5-Codex-Mini allows roughly 4x more usage than GPT-5-Codex, at a slight capability tradeoff due to the more compact model.
Available in the CLI and IDE extension when you sign in with ChatGPT, with API support coming soon.
Select GPT-5-Codex-Mini for easier tasks or to extend usage when you’re close to hitting rate limits.
Codex will also suggest switching to it when you reach 90% of your limits, so you can work longer without interruptions.
These models are the same post-trained o3 and o4-mini models that power deep research in ChatGPT.
They also support MCP (search/fetch) and Code Interpreter.
And instead of polling, webhooks now let you receive notifications for certain API events—such as completed responses, fine-tuning jobs, and batch jobs.
We recommend using webhooks for long-horizon tasks (like deep research!) to improve reliability.
