Invite friends and coworkers

Eligible users can send Codex invitations from the profile menu in the lower-left corner of the app. Choose Invite a friend on an eligible personal plan or Invite a coworker in an eligible Business workspace, enter the recipient's email address, and send the invitation.

The invitation dialog shows the current reward, recipient requirements, invite limits, and when rewards expire for your plan or promotion. Personal and Business referral programs have separate rewards and eligibility rules. Referrals aren't currently available for ChatGPT Enterprise.

From June 11 through June 24, 2026, eligible Plus and Pro users can invite up to three friends. When an eligible recipient sends their first Codex message, both people receive a banked rate-limit reset. Banked rate-limit resets are usable for 30 days after they're granted. Business referrals use separate shared-workspace credit rewards; review the current terms before you send an invitation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Sites cost?

Sites is included with eligible ChatGPT plans during public beta. Availability depends on your plan, region, and workspace settings.

What are the usage limits for my plan?

The number of messages you can send depends on the model used, size and complexity of your tasks, and whether you run them locally or in the cloud. Small scripts or routine functions may consume only a fraction of your allowance, while larger projects, long-running tasks, or extended sessions that require the agent to hold more context will use significantly more per message.

Tasks that look similar can consume different amounts of your allowance. Model choice, context, reasoning, tool use, retrieval, and caching all affect usage, so prompt length alone isn't a reliable estimate.

Choose the GPT-5.6 model that best fits your work:

Sol is built for the hardest work—complex reasoning, ambiguous problems, advanced coding, and high-stakes decisions.
Terra is the everyday workhorse for production tasks, reporting, document analysis, coding, and work that requires sound judgment.
Luna is optimized for fast, high-volume work such as routing, classification, extraction, support, background automation, and focused coding tasks.

The estimates below show local messages per five-hour period. Cloud chats on ChatGPT plans use GPT-5.6 Sol and may use more of your allowance than local messages. These estimates are not fixed message limits; check your usage dashboard for current limits and reset times.

Weekly limits may also apply. For Enterprise/Edu users with flexible pricing, there are no fixed rate limits—usage scales with [credits](#credits-overview). Enterprise and Edu plans without flexible pricing have the same per-seat usage limits as Plus for most features.

Business ($100) uses the Pro 5x estimates.

Usage limits are shared with other agentic features once pricing for those features is effective. This currently includes ChatGPT for Excel on Plus and Pro.

Speed configurations increase credit consumption for all applicable models, so they also use included limits faster. Fast mode consumes credits at a higher rate for supported models. See Speed for supported models and rates. Image generations also use included limits ~3-5x faster on average, depending on image quality and size. GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is in research preview for ChatGPT Pro users only, and isn't available in the API at launch. Because it runs on specialized low-latency hardware, usage is governed by a separate usage limit that may adjust based on demand.

ChatGPT Voice in Desktop

ChatGPT Voice on desktop uses a separate, plan-dependent allowance measured in rolling five-hour windows. Tasks started through Voice use your existing Codex usage budget. ChatGPT notifies you when you reach either limit.

GPT-Live manages the live conversation. When you use Voice in an existing Codex task, the task's selected model handles the work. See ChatGPT Voice for availability and setup.

Plus: Approximately 15–30 minutes
Pro 5x ($100/month): Approximately 1–2.5 hours
Pro 20x ($200/month): Unlimited voice access
Business: Approximately 45 minutes
Enterprise / Edu (legacy): Approximately 45 minutes

Unlimited voice access doesn't make Codex tasks unlimited. Tasks started through ChatGPT Voice continue to use your existing Codex usage budget.

For Business, Edu, and Enterprise workspaces with credit-based or pay-as-you-go billing, Desktop voice costs approximately 6 credits per minute. ChatGPT Voice in Desktop is not available via API Key currently.

What happens when you hit usage limits?

We want you to be able to complete work already in progress. If you reach your usage limits during an active turn, the agent will be able to continue working on that turn, subject to fair use limits.

ChatGPT Plus and Pro users who reach their usage limit can purchase additional credits to continue working without needing to upgrade their existing plan.

Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans with flexible pricing can purchase additional workspace credits to continue working.

If you are approaching usage limits, you can also switch to a smaller model to make your usage limits last longer.

All users may also run extra local chats using an API key, with usage charged at standard API rates.

How does image generation count toward usage limits?

Image generation counts toward the same general usage limits as local messages and cloud chats. Image generations use included limits 3-5x faster on average than similar turns without image generation, depending on image quality and size. After you reach your included limits, image generation also draws from credits.

Image generation isn't available on the Free plan. When you use Codex with an API key, API pricing applies to image generation instead of included ChatGPT usage limits.

Where can I see my current usage limits?

You can find your current limits in the usage dashboard. If you want to see your remaining limits during an active Codex CLI session, you can use /status.

Check the dashboard every week or two to understand your pace and remaining capacity. If usage is higher than expected, consider whether a smaller model or tighter task scope would still produce a useful result.

What are tokens and credits?

Tokens are small units of information that ChatGPT reads and writes. Your prompt, files, chat history, tool results, and ChatGPT's response all use tokens.

Credits are the unit used to pay for eligible usage on credit-based plans. After you reach your included limits, available credits let you continue working. Credit purchase prices and applicable discounts depend on your plan or agreement.

Token rates

The token rates below are quoted in credits per million input tokens, cached input tokens, and output tokens. Learn more about tokens.

Fast mode applies a 2.5x multiplier to Astra's Standard rate.

A small subset of Enterprise customers should continue using the legacy rate card until we migrate you to the new token-based pricing. For more information, contact OpenAI sales.

GPT-5.6 usage averages 5-30 credits per message.
Fast mode consumes credits at a higher rate for supported models. See [Speed](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/agent-configuration/speed) for rates.
Daybreak access requires [Trusted Access for Cyber](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/cyber-safety#trusted-access-for-cyber) approval. Daybreak Blue uses GPT-5.6 Sol credit rates. Daybreak Red requires separate approval and provisioning.

GPT-5.6 Sol’s promotional pricing is available at least through November 21, 2026.

Speed configurations will increase credit consumption for all models that apply. Fast mode consumes credits at a higher rate for supported models. See Speed for supported models and rates.

For Business and Enterprise/Edu credit billing, use the credit-based rate card. If your Enterprise agreement specifies usage-based billing in USD, use the Enterprise USD rate card and your agreement instead. Workspace administrators can also review ChatGPT Work usage and cost.

What counts as Code Review usage?

Code Review usage applies only when Codex runs reviews through GitHub—for example, when you tag @Codex for review in a pull request or enable automatic reviews on your repository. Reviews run locally or outside of GitHub count toward your general usage limits.

What can I do to make my usage limits last longer?

The usage limits and credits above are average rates. You can try the following tips to maximize your limits:

Control the size of your prompts. Be precise with the instructions you give the agent, but remove unnecessary context.
Limit source material. Provide only relevant files and, when possible, narrow the sources or date range.
Match the output to the need. Define the audience, format, and length, and separate required work from optional improvements.
Reduce the size of your AGENTS.md. If you work on a larger project, you can control how much context you inject through AGENTS.md files by nesting them within your repository.
Limit the number of MCP servers you use. Every MCP server adds more context to your messages and uses more of your limit. Disable MCP servers when you don’t need them.
Switch to a smaller model for routine tasks. Using GPT-5.6 Terra or GPT-5.6 Luna can extend your local-message usage limits, depending on the model you switch from.
