Posted on: Dec 27, 2025 08:32 IST | Posted by: Livemint
OpenAI and anthropical feature proclaimed temporary increases to usage limits on their AI coding tools, offering developers duplicate content during the holiday period.
Holiday boost for AI developers
As part of a year-end initiative, both companies are giving select users access to higher usage caps, a move aimed at developers and professionals who regularly reach existing limits during intensive work cycles.
OpenAI doubles Codex limits until January
OpenAI has reset and doubled the usual rate limits for users of Codex, its AI-powered coding agent. The enhanced limits will remain in place until 1 January 2026.
The announcement was shared on X by Thibault Sottiaux, a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI, who described the change as a holiday thank you to users following months of active use and feedback.
Codex is designed to support end to end software development. It can generate and modify code from text prompts or images and is available through multiple channels, including the command line, ChatGPT, and development environments such as Visual Studio Code and Cursor.
Anthropic offers limited time Claude promotion
Anthropic has launched a similar promotion for its Claude AI platform. From 25 December through to 31 December, subscribers on Pro and Max plans receive double their normal usage limits across mobile, desktop and web versions of the service.
The company confirmed that the offer applies to individual subscribers only. Team and Enterprise plans are excluded. Both existing users and new subscribers who join during the promotional window are eligible for the increased limits.
Once the promotion ends, all accounts will revert to their standard usage allowances based on their subscription tier.
Reflecting demand from heavy users
These holiday offers come at a time when AI providers are closely managing usage caps, rate limits and metering systems across paid plans. Such controls typically operate on rolling time windows or weekly thresholds.
By temporarily relaxing these limits, OpenAI and Anthropic appear to be targeting developers and power users who rely on AI tools for demanding workloads and who are most likely to encounter restrictions during peak usage periods.
