ChatGPT and Codex: from December, a single usage quota

Published 2026-11-02

From December, the way OpenAI manages the use of ChatGPT and Codex, the system dedicated to programming, will change. The two applications will no longer have separate quotas, but will share a single usage quota. This means that the time and requests made with one of the two tools will add up to those of the other.

The change concerns those who use both services, whether for work, study, or personal purposes. Someone who often uses Codex to write or correct code and at the same time asks ChatGPT questions could therefore reach the limit more quickly than in the past. Not all the cases in which the limit changes are yet clear in every detail, so it is useful to check the official information for your subscription plan.

To avoid being left without access when it is needed, experts recommend organising the use of the tools more carefully. For example, the more complex features can be used only when they are really necessary, and your consumption can be checked regularly. Those who need intensive use may also consider a different plan, if one is available.

In conclusion, the decision to merge the quotas makes the management of the services simpler, but requires more attention from users. Those who often use these tools would do well to find out in advance about the new limits so as not to have surprises when the change comes into effect.
