OpenAI help page says ChatGPT and Codex limits will be shared from December

An X post by TokenGremlin, with about 190 likes and 60 replies on X by October 31, says OpenAI's help page "Understanding ChatGPT and Codex usage limits" now states that from December, the Plus, Pro and Business allowance will be shared across ChatGPT and Codex. OpenAI has not announced the change in a post of its own that we have seen.

According to the post's reading of the help page:

• Shared allowance: one allowance covers both ChatGPT and Codex, and Settings > Usage shows the combined remaining usage.
• Tokens: usage is measured in tokens, so larger models and harder tasks use the allowance faster.
• Instant: chat with the Instant model does not draw from usage.
• Limit reached: users can buy credits.

Other accounts on X, including Angaisb_, say OpenAI emailed users about a merge of its Chat and Work products with unified limits. OpenAI's @thsottiaux said on October 28 that the Chat and Work merge was not rolling out yet.
