ChatGPT usage limits and spend controls

For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt. Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending .md to the page URL.

ChatGPT workspace usage limits and spend controls apply to eligible activity under the plan for the workspace. Depending on the plan, this can include some Codex activity. These controls aren't a universal Codex limit system and don't govern OpenAI API Platform billing.

For the complete administration model, see Roles and workspace permissions.

Know when these controls apply

Review ChatGPT workspace usage controls when:

• The organization's agreement uses shared or purchased ChatGPT workspace credits.
• Eligible Codex activity can consume those credits.
• Administrators need user guardrails, workspace-level spend controls, or usage notifications supported by the current plan.

Usage controls don't configure feature entitlement or permissions, although exhausted limits can pause access to eligible features. They don't affect source-system permissions or govern Platform API usage or billing.

Use current procedures

• Manage usage limits and overages in ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu
• Manage credits and spend controls in ChatGPT Business
