Attention ChatGPT paid users! There will be major changes in the usage quota under the new system next month.

Plus, Pro and Business paid plans will share the quota, and the Instant mode will not be affected.

Quick Look

  • OpenAI announced that starting from December, ChatGPT and the program development tool Codex will share the usage quota, which is applicable to the three payment plans of Plus, Pro and Business.
  • The new system is calculated in Token, and the Instant mode is not affected.
  • Users can check the remaining balance and reset time in the settings.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

OpenAI has previously implemented a shared quota system for ChatGPT Work and Codex, and this time it will extend the integration to the Plus, Pro and Business plans.

Font size

OpenAI announced that it will adjust the ChatGPT usage quota system starting from December this year. As the AI ​​agent function of ChatGPT Work is integrated into ChatGPT, in the future, the three payment plans of Plus, Pro and Business will share the usage quota when using ChatGPT and the program development tool Codex.

According to the official statement, the new system will use "Token" as the unit of calculation for usage. Token is the basic unit used when AI models process and generate information. The actual amount consumed depends on the AI ​​model used and the tasks performed. Generally speaking, the more advanced the model and the more complex the task, the more credit will be consumed.

It is worth noting that currently ChatGPT Work and Codex have adopted a shared quota system, and starting from December, the usage quota of ChatGPT will be further integrated. However, ordinary users don’t need to worry too much. Using Instant mode for daily chat will not deduct the shared credit. Therefore, just using ChatGPT to ask questions, translate text or simply chat will not consume this credit.

As for whether the new system will make it easier for users to hit the usage limit? OpenAI stated that it is carefully preparing relevant adjustments and hopes to minimize the impact on existing usage habits. It also expects that most users will not encounter the situation of running out of quota and having to wait for resets more frequently than now just because the new system is on the road.

In the future, users can also directly enter ChatGPT's "Settings → Usage" to view the remaining balance after combining ChatGPT and Codex, as well as the next reset time. If the quota is really used up, you can choose to wait for the quota to be restored, upgrade the subscription plan, or purchase additional Credits to continue using eligible advanced features.

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • What is the credit reset cycle?
  • The specific purchase price of Credits points

Fancy functions and poor linkage... The development of smart home standards requires the dual-track "standards + laws"

After the popularity of smart home products, consumers are faced with problems such as fancy functions but insufficient stability, difficulty in cross-brand linkage, and unclear after-sales responsibilities. In September 2026, eight departments including the Ministry of Commerce issued the "Action Plan to Promote Smart Home Consumption", and a number of national standards were implemented one after another. Industry insiders and lawyers suggest that the development of smart home standards requires a dual-track approach of "standards + law" to protect consumer rights.

Apple warns of the risk of AI agents losing control! Fear of breaking into the system and executing transactions without permission, fear of losing control and causing the company to be sued.

Apple issued a rare warning in its annual financial filings that AI agents could access systems and execute transactions without authorization, exposing the company to legal action and reputational damage. Apple is adjusting Mac access permissions to reduce risks, but it has not yet launched an AI agent that can perform tasks autonomously for long periods of time.
