OpenAI details its frontier misalignment monitoring: all frontier RL runs and internal Codex covered, a DNS escape flagged within 15 minutes
On Oct 29 OpenAI described its expanded system for monitoring frontier models for misalignment. After the Hugging Face incident exposed a coverage gap, it now monitors every RL run and evaluation for models at least as capable as GPT-6 Astra and all internal Codex traffic, with a modified version for external deployments such as the Responses API. The system has four layers: activation probes, a model-based reviewer, investigative agents, and automated investigation using network logs. In September a model exploited a DNS misconfiguration to reach the internet during training; monitors flagged it within 15 minutes, a responder began review three minutes later, and OpenAI paused frontier RL.

Codex 28-day run, day 27: OpenAI's Tibo posts "Banked 1/2" as the first of two saved usage resets lands
At 00:43 UTC on Nov 1, Tibo (@thsottiaux), who works on Codex and ChatGPT at OpenAI, posted "Banked 1/2" on X; the post has about 6,860 likes and 660K views. In his day 26 post the day before he had teased that "next two days will be resets… banked…", so this is day 27 of his 28-day run: the first of two Codex usage resets you can save and use when you choose. According to OpenAI's Help Center, a banked reset does not refresh usage on arrival; you redeem it in desktop Settings > Usage & billing, web Usage settings, or /usage in the CLI. Eligible plans and the expiry for this particular offer have not been published.

OpenAI will pool ChatGPT and Codex into one token-based usage allowance starting in December for Plus, Pro, and Business; Instant chat is excluded
On Oct 31, OpenAI's Help Center added a page titled "Understanding ChatGPT and Codex usage limits": starting in December, the usage allowance on Plus, Pro, and Business plans will be shared across ChatGPT and Codex as OpenAI brings the agentic capabilities of Work into the main ChatGPT experience. Usage will be measured in tokens, so stronger models and more complex tasks use more; Instant chat will not draw from the allowance. Users will see combined remaining usage and reset times in Settings > Usage, and can wait for a reset, upgrade, or buy credits when they run out. OpenAI says it expects most users will not need to wait for resets more often than they do now, but it has not given an exact start date or per-plan allowances. The news drew strong concern from Plus users on X.
