Users find ChatGPT chat usage secretly drains Codex credits despite docs saying otherwise
jonistaken · reddit · 2026-10-02
A Reddit user found OpenAI's billing contradicts its own documentation: the Codex usage page tooltip explicitly states "Chat conversations are not included," yet each prompt with a higher-end chat model visibly drains Codex/work credits in real time. The post links to the analytics page so users can verify themselves, and questions the legality of such billing practices.
