Commenters debated whether the Codex pricing page actually grants unlimited GPT-5.6 usage. Tiberium and others argued that unlimited 5.6 is a ChatGPT Pro chat feature rather than a Codex-specific allowance, and that Codex usage still consumes a weekly quota. Skeledrew countered that the linked page explicitly lists "Unlimited GPT-5.6" under the Pro tier and pointed out that Codex is advertised as included across tiers, while Tiberium recommended contacting support if the page is unclear. Some commenters noted a missing $125/month business "Pro" SKU, with rsyring saying small businesses are being squeezed because personal plans look better than business plans and Enterprise doesn't fit them.
Several commenters raised skepticism about any "unlimited" claim: tetrisgm and georgel flagged the usual "reasonable use" caveat and predicted throttling, downgrades, or token-based limits similar to mobile data caps. Verdverm and others compared emerging token-vs-data models, noting that different models consume different amounts of compute and energy, so quotas may be necessary; skeledrew even said they'd accept some throttling given resource costs. Overall the disagreement centers on whether the page actually promises unlimited Codex 5.6 use and whether such unlimited plans would be practical or effectively throttled.
