OpenAI doubles Pro usage limits and plans Chat-Work merger
Current overview (not historical)
OpenAI doubled the Work and Codex usage quotas for Pro 100 and Pro 500 plans after user feedback reversed a planned cut for Pro 200, which retains its original quota; Plus plan limits remain unchanged. Following feedback, OpenAI will merge Chat and Work features starting in December, introducing a shared single token budget across ChatGPT and Codex for Plus, Pro, and Business plans, where chats with Instant models will not count toward the limit.
