OpenAI to merge ChatGPT and Codex usage limits for Plus, Pro and Business plans in December
OpenAI plans to combine ChatGPT and Codex usage into a single shared token allowance for Plus, Pro and Business subscribers starting in December, according to posts on X citing the company's documentation. Heavy use of one product would reduce remaining usage for the other, while instant chat reportedly would not count toward the shared limit. Exact allowance sizes, pricing effects and the precise December date were not specified, and OpenAI's announcement was not independently confirmed in the source items. Some Plus users criticized the change, saying it could worsen already limited usage without a comparable increase.

OpenAI to Make ChatGPT and Codex Share One Token Allowance on Plus
OpenAI announced on its official documentation page that ChatGPT and Codex will draw from a single shared token allowance on the Plus tier, according to a post by @rohanpaul_ai on X. The change means Plus subscribers would have one combined usage pool for both the ChatGPT assistant and the Codex coding product rather than separate allowances. The post does not specify the size of the shared allowance, an effective date, or whether other subscription tiers are affected. The announcement was surfaced via a retweet of the original post, and the full documentation page was not included in the source item.
