You’ve asked for more flexible ways to get more Codex usage: Introducing credits for Codex on ChatGPT Plus and Pro. Credits give you more usage beyond what’s included in your plan, kicking in when you hit limits. As a bonus, we also reset Codex rate limits for everyone. Enjoy!

Oct 30, 2025 · 5:59 PM UTC

Starting today, you can buy credits from your Codex usage dashboard in packs of 1,000 credits for $40. Codex always uses your plan’s included usage first before drawing down credits. Plus and Pro users can buy credits at: chatgpt.com/codex/settings/u…
As we’ve also shared earlier, Codex cloud tasks will now count toward your rate limits starting today. Learn more about how pricing and credits work 👇 help.openai.com/en/articles/…

Can we get credits in the ChatGPT app so I can use Pro for a day? You can already do prorated day rates if you time your Pro upgrade right in the Google Play Store. A native credit system would save me the bother.

Good move. Builders just want predictable execution runway.

Using Credits for Flexible Usage in ChatGPT (Free/Go/Plus/Pro) Key information and FAQs about using credits Credits currently can only be used with Codex (for Plus/Pro users only). So it will roll out to Free and Go, right?

Thank you. The work done by 1000 credits ($40) if I use API would cost how much?
Replying to @OpenAIDevs
This new credit system could really enhance how AI interacts with transactions. At Sealcoin, we're focused on ensuring those transactions are secure and seamless, especially with post-quantum methods and satellite connectivity. Exciting times ahead!

It would have been perfect 2 days ago before I switched to @claudeai to avoid paying 200$ to upgrade :( It would be wonderful to have plans only dedicated for devs that only include codex or anyway models just related to coding.
Replying to @OpenAIDevs
i tried to buy credits and the AI help said they wouldn't help me because i reached my weekly limit. i don't understand what credits are for ???
Replying to @OpenAIDevs
how confusing is this?
Replying to @OpenAIDevs
"Credits are valid for 12 months from purchase. Unused credits expire and do not roll over after the expiry date." why? when you purchase credits you should have them for as long as you need.

Seriously? Is this what we asked for? I thought we asked for the codex speed to be normalized.

Can we also now use GPT-5-Pro in codex please 🙏

1. What's the difference between increasing limits using the new credit method and the basic method by expanding queries via the API key "gpt-5-codex"? 2. Which method is more cost-effective? 3. Why have the credit method if there's the API? What's the point?

till now I simply used multiple plus accounts and logged in to them round robin. Question: Is $20 in credits the same as $20 in a new plus account?

Give GPT pro usage via codex for pro subs, introduce some monthly usage like 5, to let us know how good it is, before blindly pay for it via API :)

Hope this will just be in case of additional credits needed an do not change what we have today

Why not same can be applied / used for deep search / agents?

Why do Cloud task use more credits than local tasks? Is it more token use on Codex cloud?

Nice way to frame it - what really happened is you added stricter limits. I've never got limited, just did.

buy two more accounts for $40 and enjoy

Did you reduce the in plan credits for pro users? It’s draining quicker

Replying to @OpenAIDevs
API option invalidated the need for credits, it was already there. Credits are not useful, unless this is a way to prepare us for an even greater plan. I hope we are not laying the groundwork for $2000 plan, hope the limits will not be shortened.

Что именно нужно (ядро фич) •Chat-вкладка в каждом репозитории. Контекст: README, issues, история коммитов, тесты, фиче-флаги. •NL→Patch. Естественный язык → ветка → коммиты → PR с авто-описанием и ссылками на строки. •Guardrails. Песочница, policy-чекер, лимиты на области правок, обязательный human-approve. •Дифф-визор. Пояснения к изменениям «почему так», ссылки на спецификации и связанные баг-репорты. •Авто-тесты и превью. Генерация/обновление тестов, CI run, ephemeral-preview по ссылке. •Аудит и RBAC. Журналы действий ИИ, подписи коммитов, роли/квоты для non-dev. •Шаблоны команд. «Горячие кнопки» для команды/PM: Refactor module, Bump deps, Generate docs, Localize. •Режим наставника. Обучающий walkthrough: почему патч безопасен, какие риски, где границы. Почему это важно •Доступность. Устраняет «узкое горлышко» инженеров для текучих мелких задач. •Скорость. Время от идеи до PR — минуты, а не спринты. •Качество. Стандартизированные паттерны, авто-тесты и контроль политики уменьшают «ручной шум». •Монетизация. Кредиты за compute в Codex отлично ложатся на модель per-patch / per-preview.

OpenAI really said here's more limits but don't worry you can pay to remove the limits we just added.
