OpenAI Announces ChatGPT and Codex Will Share Quota Starting in December
OpenAI announced that starting in December this year, the quotas for its three paid plans—ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Business—will be calculated as a combined total, with ChatGPT and Codex sharing the same quota pool and billed uniformly by token; consumption depends on the model selected and task complexity. Instant chat does not consume the shared quota, and users can check their remaining quota and reset time on the "Settings—Usage" page in ChatGPT. This adjustment is related to OpenAI integrating ChatGPT Work's agent capabilities into ChatGPT, and the company expects most users will not run out of quota more often than they do now.

Fast Technology News, November 1 — Today, OpenAI issued an announcement stating that it will adjust the usage quota rules for ChatGPT and Codex in December of this year.
According to the new rules, the usage quotas of the three paid plans — ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Business — will be calculated together; ChatGPT and Codex will no longer have their quotas calculated separately, but will share the same quota pool.
This adjustment is related to OpenAI integrating the agent capabilities of ChatGPT Work into ChatGPT, aiming to enable users to complete more complex tasks directly within ChatGPT.
After the adjustment, quota consumption for ChatGPT and Codex will be uniformly calculated by Token, with the specific consumption depending on the model selected by the user and the complexity of the task.
Generally speaking, using more capable models and handling more complex tasks will consume more quota.
It is worth noting that OpenAI explicitly stated that Instant real-time chat will not consume the shared quota, so users' daily use of Instant mode for chatting will not take up this portion of the quota.
For paid users who use both ChatGPT and Codex, the quotas of the two services will affect each other; if one consumes more, the remaining quota available for the other will decrease accordingly.
However, OpenAI emphasized that it is making full preparations for this adjustment to minimize the impact on users' existing usage habits.
The company expects that most users will not encounter quota exhaustion and need to wait for a reset more frequently than they do now because of this adjustment.
In addition, users will be able to view the combined remaining quota and reset time on the "Settings — Usage" page in ChatGPT.
