today we are significantly increasing rate limits for reasoning for chatgpt plus users, and all model-class limits will shortly be higher than they were before gpt-5.

we will also shortly make a UI change to indicate which model is working.

tomorrow or tuesday we expect to share our thinking on how we are going to make capacity tradeoffs over the coming months.

(e.g., chatgpt vs the api, existing users vs new ones, research vs product, etc)

the percentage of users using reasoning models each day is significantly increasing; for example, for free users we went from <1% to 7%, and for plus users from 7% to 24%.

i expect use of reasoning to greatly increase over time, so rate limit increases are important.
