Summary
In a Help Center article, OpenAI said that starting in December, usage allowances for Plus, Pro, and Business plans will be shared across ChatGPT and Codex as it brings the agentic capabilities of Work into the main ChatGPT experience. Usage will be measured in tokens, with more advanced models and complex tasks consuming more of the allowance. Instant chat will not draw from usage, and combined remaining usage and reset times will be visible in Settings under Usage. The article itself shows no date; the publication date is based on the first web archive capture (October 31) and multiple independent reports.
Why it matters for our work
Once chat and agentic work share one budget, people and teams will treat AI use as a single allocation problem rather than separate per-product limits. The change directly affects cost planning and everyday AI tool choices.
