OpenAI will merge ChatGPT and Codex quotas into a single shared token allowance in December
OpenAI announced on its official documentation page that ChatGPT and Codex under the Plus, Pro, and Business plans will share a single token allowance, with the change starting in December. At that time, OpenAI will merge the agent features of ChatGPT Work, an agent built on Codex in July, into the main ChatGPT experience. Currently, Work already shares limits with Codex, while regular ChatGPT conversations are metered separately, so heavy coding does not consume chat quota; after the switch, each request will be priced by token, whereas the current limits for regular conversations are calculated by the weekly message count for each model, such as the weekly cap for GPT-6 Pro messages.

The change starts in December, when OpenAI moves the agentic features of ChatGPT Work, its July agent built on Codex, into the main ChatGPT experience.
