OpenAI announced in its official help documentation that, starting in December, usage quotas for ChatGPT and Codex will be unified. This change applies to Plus, Pro, and Business plans, with only chat via 'Instant' remaining free of usage consumption.
Usage will be measured in "tokens," the unit of information processed and generated by the AI. More advanced models and complex tasks will consume a larger portion of the quota. As conversation and coding will now share the same allocation, usage in one area will directly impact the remaining quota available for the other.
Remaining usage and reset times can be checked under "Usage" in "Settings." If the limit is reached, users will have the option to either wait for the reset, change their plan, or purchase additional credits for the applicable features to continue.
The exact transition date and the specific quota sizes for each plan have not yet been disclosed.
