Primary dot work does not draw Codex usage

Observed· Oct 1, 2026Published Oct 1, 2026

Tibo says the primary dot is included 24/7. Work it does itself uses no quota. A Codex task it creates still draws usage.

What changed

Tibo (@thsottiaux, OpenAI Codex) said the primary dot is included in the plan and available 24/7. Work the dot does directly uses no usage quota. Asking it to create a Codex task still draws usage as usual.

Who is affected

People on ChatGPT plans that include a primary dot (Plus, Pro, and Business, as far as the post describes).

What to do now

Use the primary dot for work it can do itself when you want to avoid drawing Codex usage. Expect a Codex task it creates to count against the usual limit.

What is not confirmed

This is a post on X, not an official changelog. Which plans include a primary dot, and whether any direct-dot work can still count, is not confirmed in OpenAI documentation.
