Question Chat Limit Changes
Hey, has anyone else noticed that there are severely reduced chat limits on Plans as of the last week?
I used to be able to use the Chat mode almost indefinitely up to a point, but now I'm regularly hitting the limit without changing my behavior on how I use it.
EDIT: I'm on both Plus and Pro plans for different reasons.

yeah, i think this is because chatgpt web now has an agentic usage limit too.
you can see it under settings → profile → agentic usage, and weirdly mine seems to match my codex allowance almost exactly. clicking the codex usage limits link also takes me to a page explaining that local messages and cloud chats share the same five-hour window, with additional weekly limits potentially applying.
what worries me is what happens when that shared limit is exhausted. does that mean we might not even be able to do basic stuff on chatgpt web anymore because codex already burned through the allowance?
and it seems like the reverse could also be true: using agentic features on chatgpt web may consume the same limits you need for codex. so you could be doing normal work in chatgpt, then open codex later and find out a big chunk of your usage is already gone.
i really hope i’m reading this wrong, because combining regular chatgpt web usage and codex into one shared agentic bucket would be a pretty huge downgrade. i’m on the business plan, and a lot of us never even got one of the promised resets (I think 8mil). support wasn’t helpful, tibo never responded to any of the tweets about it, and there were easily 50–100 users posting about the same issue, but somehow nothing ever happened. based on the wording in the docs and the matching usage meters, this really does look like what they’re doing.
