OpenAI has reversed a planned reduction of included usage on ChatGPT Pro ($100/$200/$500) and Business Premium subscriptions. The plan would have cut allowances for existing Pro 200 subscribers after October 29 at an unchanged $200/month price. After customer backlash, OpenAI instead doubled usage limits across those tiers, effective immediately (bleepingcomputer.com). A later report, based on an email to subscribers, says the doubled Work and Codex allowances apply to Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500 from October 29. It also says OpenAI will test a combined ChatGPT Chat and Work experience with a small group of users in the coming weeks and will unify ChatGPT and Codex usage allowances for Pro plans (bleepingcomputer.com). On November 2, 2026, TechCrunch and ZDNet confirmed the merge of the Chat and Work tabs in the ChatGPT desktop app, also based on an email to users. The merged experience goes first to select users for feedback before a wider rollout (techcrunch.com, zdnet.com). ZDNet puts the start of the merge in December and says the shared allowance covers Plus, Pro and Business plans, measured in tokens (zdnet.com). All reports describe commercial product and pricing news only: no security incident, vulnerability or threat activity is involved, and no exact numerical limits were disclosed.
Detalhes técnicos
- The changes mainly affect ChatGPT Work and Codex, which share usage allowances (bleepingcomputer.com).
- Extended limits for Dots, OpenAI's always-on AI assistants, will continue, and Dots usage stays separate from default usage (bleepingcomputer.com).
- The combined Chat and Work experience lets users bring in files and plugins and have ChatGPT build websites, create presentations or perform web tasks. It is meant to let users move from exploring an idea to having ChatGPT carry out the task (techcrunch.com). Codex stays a separate experience in the ChatGPT desktop app (bleepingcomputer.com, techcrunch.com, zdnet.com).
- ChatGPT and Codex will draw from one shared allowance, a token allowance pool (techcrunch.com, zdnet.com). Unlimited Instant is excluded from the limit, while more advanced models and complex tasks consume more (bleepingcomputer.com).
- Because the pool is shared, some users may wait for usage resets more often, though OpenAI expects most users to see no disruption (techcrunch.com, zdnet.com).
- Users can check remaining usage and reset times under Settings > Usage. When the allowance runs out they can wait for the reset, upgrade, or buy credits for eligible features (bleepingcomputer.com).
- Context: rival Anthropic merged Claude's chat and Cowork functions into one screen in September (techcrunch.com, zdnet.com).
Remediação
No security remediation applies; this is product and pricing news. Subscribers can monitor their remaining allowance under Settings > Usage (bleepingcomputer.com).
Relatos divergentes
- Timing of the merge: bleepingcomputer.com says the combined Chat and Work experience will be tested with a small group in the coming weeks, while zdnet.com says the merge starts in December. The two are not necessarily incompatible (a limited test first, wider rollout later), and no exact date is confirmed.
- Plans covered by the shared allowance: bleepingcomputer.com refers to unified ChatGPT and Codex allowances for Pro plans, while zdnet.com says Plus, Pro and Business plans. zdnet.com is the more recent and broader statement, but neither source is the vendor.
