ChatGPT + Codex plan limits and pricing
AI assistant + coding agent (Codex). Paid plans from $8 to $500 a month. Checked October 30, 2026.
How ChatGPT + Codex meters usage
Per the vendor, the number of Codex messages depends on the model, task size and complexity, and whether work runs locally or in the cloud. Plus and Standard Business get local-message estimates per five-hour period, given as a range per model; these are "not fixed message limits", and the usage dashboard shows current limits and reset times. Cloud tasks may use more of the allowance than local messages. Local messages and cloud chats share the plan's usage allowance, and weekly limits may also apply. Pro plans currently have no five-hour limit. ChatGPT Work shares the same pricing, credits and usage limits as Codex. Fast mode uses included usage at 2.5x (2x on purchased credits). Ultrafast uses 8x (6x on credits). Image generation uses limits about 3-5x faster. After reaching limits, Plus/Pro users and flexible-pricing workspaces can buy credits, which are billed per 1M tokens per model. Enterprise/Edu with flexible pricing have no fixed rate limits.
