OpenAI Grants Banked Resets to Paid Users at 40M User Mark

OpenAI granted banked resets to paid users of Codex and ChatGPT Work on Oct 7 to mark reaching 40M active users across those platforms. The reset was distributed automatically to all subscription members, bypassing the usual community polling process, and is the third event in a 28-day daily shipping cycle that began on Oct 4. Previous updates in the sprint included a 50% speed increase for GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol, raising throughput from 30 to 50 tokens per second.
