OpenAI to Share One Quota Pool Between ChatGPT and Codex Starting in December

Around Oct 29, OpenAI updated its Help Center page. According to AI Cost Notes, which checked vendor pages on Oct 30, the previously planned reduction in Pro 200 allowances was canceled. Pro 100 and Pro 500 now receive twice their previous Work and Codex allowances, and every Pro 200 seat is placed on the higher Work and Codex allowance. Ultrafast remains exclusive to Pro 500, while Plus stays unchanged. The same write-up notes that API credits bundled with each tier must be claimed after the account has been active for 7 days and are bound to a single organization; they do not roll over and do not raise limits in ChatGPT or the logged-in Codex.

On Nov 1, OpenAI announced that from December, as agentic Work capabilities are folded into the main ChatGPT experience, Plus, Pro and Business subscribers will share a unified allowance between ChatGPT and Codex. Usage will be measured in tokens, with the actual burn rate depending on the selected model and task complexity, while Instant Chat does not draw on the allowance. Users can check the combined remaining allowance and next reset time in Settings → Usage, and once exhausted they can wait for a reset, upgrade their plan, or buy more Credits. OpenAI said the transition is being prepared and that the vast majority of users should not need to wait for resets more often than before. The announcement did not address whether Pro 200 seats are still affected.
