OpenAI officially announces December ChatGPT and Codex quotas merged: regular chats will also draw on coding quotas, except Instant
Beating AI flash news: the shared-quota rules previously uncovered by “Bald Brother” Tibor Blaho from the ChatGPT subscription page have now received official confirmation.
OpenAI’s latest help documentation makes clear that December onward, ChatGPT and Codex for Plus, Pro, and Business users will share a single quota, while ChatGPT Work’s Agent capabilities will be integrated into the regular chat interface.
Usage will then be calculated uniformly by Token: the more powerful the model and the more complex the task, the more quota it will generally consume. However, chats in Instant mode do not draw on the shared quota. Users can view their remaining quota and reset time in Settings.
Ironically, OpenAI had just announced that quotas for plans such as Pro would double, before confirming that chat and coding would be placed in the same quota pool.
The company also reassured users that it expects most users will not exhaust their quotas more frequently than they do now.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
A shared quota means that ChatGPT chats and Codex coding are no longer calculated separately, but instead draw from the same quota pool; Instant-mode chats are the explicitly stated exception in the article.
Why it matters to readers
When Plus, Pro, and Business users use regular chat, it may also affect the remaining quota available for Codex, so they need to monitor consumption across different models and tasks.
If you use both ChatGPT chat and Codex coding, you should monitor your remaining quota and reset time in Settings; if you use only Instant-mode chat, the report says it will not draw on the shared quota.
Risks and unknowns
The evidence does not provide a direct link to OpenAI’s help documentation, so the official wording cannot be verified against the original text.
The article only states “December onward,” without specifying the year or exact effective date.
It does not explain how different models and tasks are converted into Token quotas.
The specific scope of application of the Instant-mode exception is not explained.
How frequently users will actually exhaust their quotas after the sharing change remains unknown.
