consequently I am unable to use the tool, as I am presented with this error message:

``■ To use Codex with your ChatGPT plan, upgrade to Plus: https://openai.com/chatgpt/pricing.``

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019a015f-9655-7260-a21f-5edc7c5eefe1

Login and then send a prompt

What is the expected behavior?

I can send prompts and interact with the service :)
