What's happening

OpenAI is combining the ChatGPT 'Chat' and 'Work' (Codex) usage allowances so that ChatGPT and Codex will draw from the same unified allowance in the coming weeks. The company says it expects most users will not need to wait for their usage to reset more often than they do today, while also doubling usage limits for Pro 100/200/500 tiers. Users report new five-hour limits returning, removal of grace periods after hitting limits, caps on how many paid ChatGPT accounts you can have per device and payment card, and anxiety that image generation and casual chat will now consume the same credits previously used for developer Codex tasks.

Why it's trending

This is rising because OpenAI is changing how usage credits and allowances are counted and enforced, directly affecting both paid subscribers and developers.

Angles you could write

contrarian take

If OpenAI thinks merging Chat and Work allowances will stop user confusion, they missed the obvious outcome: people paying more to get less control over where their credits go.
