ChatGPT and Codex will draw from one allowance from December

OpenAI will combine the ChatGPT and Codex usage allowances into one shared pool for Plus, Pro and Business subscribers starting in December, according to its help center, as summarized by The Neuron and Crypto Briefing. Usage is counted in credits per million across models, ordinary Instant chats do not count, and subscribers can buy extra credits past the limit. Pro keeps its exemption from the five-hour limit.

A heavy Codex user will now spend down the same budget they chat from. It follows a week in which OpenAI dropped a planned cut to Pro limits and doubled them instead. OpenAI's help page refused our fetch. SourcesA C
