Codex quota is applied as Plus while active ChatGPT Pro subscription is still valid before scheduled downgrade

What issue are you seeing?

Summary

My ChatGPT subscription is currently in an active Pro billing period, but Codex quota is being applied as Plus before the scheduled downgrade date.

This is not only a display issue.

  • Codex Desktop shows the plan as Pro, but the available usage quota appears to be Plus-level
  • Codex CLI shows the plan as Plus, and the available usage quota is also Plus-level
  • ChatGPT still shows the account as Pro

This suggests that the Codex quota/entitlement backend may be applying the scheduled future Plus plan instead of the currently active Pro entitlement.

Subscription timeline

  • Subscription source: Apple App Store
  • Current plan: ChatGPT Pro
  • Pro subscription started: April 10, 2026
  • Current Pro billing period ends: June 10, 2026
  • Scheduled downgrade: Pro → Plus on June 10, 2026
  • Current date: before June 10, 2026

Before June 10, the active paid subscription should still be treated as Pro.

Current behavior

| Product / Surface | Displayed plan | Applied quota / limits |

|---|---:|---:|

| ChatGPT | Pro | - |

| Codex Desktop | Pro | Plus-level quota |

| Codex CLI | Plus | Plus-level quota |

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Subscribe to ChatGPT Pro through Apple App Store.
  1. Schedule a downgrade from Pro to Plus.
  1. Before the current Pro billing period ends, open ChatGPT.
  1. Confirm ChatGPT shows Pro.
  1. Open Codex Desktop.
  1. Confirm Codex Desktop shows Pro.
  1. Check Codex Desktop usage quota.
  1. Observe that the quota appears to be Plus-level, not Pro-level.
  1. Sign in to Codex CLI with the same account.
  1. Observe that Codex CLI shows Plus.
  1. Check CLI usage quota and observe that it is also Plus-level.

What is the expected behavior?

Until the current Pro billing period ends on June 10, 2026:

  • ChatGPT should show and apply Pro entitlements
  • Codex Desktop should show and apply Pro entitlements
  • Codex CLI should show and apply Pro entitlements
  • Codex quota should be calculated according to the currently active Pro subscription, not the scheduled next-cycle Plus plan

After June 10, 2026, the downgrade to Plus should take effect.

Additional information

  • Logging out and re‑authenticating may not fix the issue if the underlying CLI logic incorrectly interprets the entitlement data.
  • Other Codex surfaces (Desktop app, Web UI) correctly respect and display the Pro subscription, so this seems specific to the CLI client.
