OpenAI's upcoming chat-and-work merger in ChatGPT signals the end of all-you-can-prompt pricing

OpenAI is consolidating its Chat and Work modes into a unified interface starting in December, implementing a shared, token-based quota for Plus, Pro, and Business subscribers. Under this new structure, complex model requests will draw from a user's monthly limit, while simpler, instantaneous interactions will remain unrestricted. This shift moves the platform away from unlimited prompting, effectively placing a performance cap on higher-tier plans based on the computational intensity of a user's tasks.
