OpenAI plans to merge usage limits for ChatGPT and its coding tool Codex, so chat and code work may draw from one allowance. Paying users should check.
OpenAI plans to merge the usage limits for ChatGPT and Codex into one. If you use both, your everyday chats and your coding requests would count against the same allowance instead of two separate ones.
A usage limit is a cap on how much you can use a service in a set period. Until now, ChatGPT and Codex have had their own limits. Under the plan, they would be combined. Codex is OpenAI's assistant that helps write and fix software code.
The change matters most to people who pay for ChatGPT and also use it for code. That could include small business owners who have a developer on staff, or anyone who tinkers with websites or apps. People who only chat, or only code, may notice little.
The material available does not say when the change starts. It does not say how large the shared allowance will be, or whether any plan will get more or less than before. It also does not explain how a coding request will be counted against a chat request. Those details will decide whether this is good or bad news.
If you pay for ChatGPT and also use it for code, watch how the shared limit changes what you get for your money.
