OpenAI Adjusts Quota Rules: ChatGPT and Codex Share Quota, Instant Chat Unlimited

This means that using ChatGPT to handle tasks and using Codex to program will be deducted from the same quota, and users need to manage the usage of both. For users who frequently use both ChatGPT and Codex, the usage of one feature may affect the remaining quota of the other.

However, OpenAI said that users chatting in "Instant" mode will not consume the shared quota. In its notice, the company said that users' current plans support unlimited use of "Instant" mode.

OpenAI expects that for most users, this adjustment will not cause them to need to wait for quota resets more frequently. Users will then be able to view the combined remaining quota and reset time in "Settings" → "Usage." If the quota is exhausted, they can wait for a reset, upgrade their plan, or purchase additional quota to continue using eligible features.

In addition to the quota adjustment, OpenAI also plans to integrate the "Chat" and "Work" tabs in ChatGPT. Within the next few weeks, the company will first test the integrated experience with a small group of users, and then gradually expand the scope based on feedback.

According to OpenAI's description, after the integration, users will be able to discuss ideas and have ChatGPT execute tasks in the same interface, such as building websites, creating presentations, or handling web-related matters using files and plugins provided by the user. Users can still review and guide the work while the task is in progress.

OpenAI also said that Codex will still retain a separate experience in the ChatGPT desktop app.
