For clarity, while both are called 20X, in Codex they apply specifically to weekly usage limits. And we also don't have 5h limits for both Pro plans. The Pro 20X is quite precisely 20X the usage of the Plus subscription, so it does exactly what it says on the tin. https://t.co/vMchMCT80Z
Context
Codex Pro's advertised 20X allowance referred to weekly usage relative to Plus in an August 31 clarification from Tibo Sottiaux, the OpenAI leader associated with Codex. He also said both Pro plans then lacked five-hour limits.
The time window matters: a weekly allowance describes the budget available across the week, while a five-hour limit can constrain how quickly it is used. The clarification concerns usage allowance, not a fixed number of completed jobs. Official usage guidance explains that consumption depends on the model and task.
