AI overview

OpenAI announced that ChatGPT and Codex will share a single token allowance across the Plus, Pro, and Business plans, with the change taking effect in December. According to a report by Rohan Paul, OpenAI stated on its official documentation page that at that time it 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. After the switch, each request will be priced by token, whereas the current regular conversation limits are calculated by the number of weekly messages per model. Sina Tech reported that after the adjustment, allowances will be calculated uniformly by token, with consumption depending on the selected model and task complexity; Instant instant chat does not consume the shared allowance, and users can view their combined remaining allowance and reset time on the ChatGPT "Settings—Usage" page.

    OpenAI will merge ChatGPT's Chat and Work, with Plus, Pro, and Business sharing…

    OpenAI's updated support page states that starting in December, ChatGPT's Chat and Work will be merged, and the Plus, Pro, and Business plans will share the same token budget between ChatGPT and Codex. Users can view their remaining quota and reset time in settings; once the quota is exhausted, they can wait for a reset, upgrade their plan, or purchase additional quota. Conversations using the Instant model do not count toward the budget. OpenAI had previously announced plans to merge Chat and Work, and recently also doubled the usage quota for higher-priced plans.

    OpenAI merges ChatGPT and Codex quotas, billing by token starting in December

    OpenAI has published documentation in its Help Center stating that starting in December, usage quotas for the three paid plans—Plus, Pro, and Business—will be shared between ChatGPT and Codex and calculated uniformly by token, with only Instant chats not counting toward the quota. The documentation does not specify an exact launch date or the token amounts for each plan; once the quota is exhausted, users can choose to wait for a reset, upgrade their plan, or purchase credits. During the same period, OpenAI also published a bank card and device restrictions page, setting a cap on the number of paid accounts usable on a single device; exceeding it will trigger a "Device limit reached" prompt or result in being logged out.

    OpenAI Announces That Some ChatGPT Features Will Share a Quota with Codex

    OpenAI has announced that some ChatGPT features will share a quota with Codex, measured uniformly in Tokens, with the actual consumption rate depending on the selected model and task complexity. Instant conversations do not use this shared quota, and paid users who use both services will have their quotas affect each other. Users can view the combined remaining quota and the next reset time on the usage page in ChatGPT settings; once the quota is exhausted, they can wait for automatic reset, upgrade their subscription, or purchase credits.

Users can view their remaining merged quota and reset time on the "Settings—Usage" page in ChatGPT.

    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.

    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.
