OpenAI's upcoming chat-and-work merger in ChatGPT signals the end of all-you-can-prompt pricing

OpenAI will merge ChatGPT's Chat and Work modes into a single interface starting in December, with Plus, Pro, and Business plans sharing one token-based quota across ChatGPT and Codex, The Decoder reported. More complex models will consume more of the shared quota, while simple instant chats will not count against it. The change is likely to reduce ChatGPT's quality for heavy users on lower-cost plans.

More complex models consume more of this quota, while simple instant chats do not count toward it. In practice, this is likely to result in a decline in ChatGPT’s quality for heavy users on lower-cost plans.
