Thanks for the post. Codex isn't provided under the "ChatGPT for Teachers" K-12 subscription plan. That explains why you're seeing this error message. Codex is available under Plus, Pro, Business, Edu and Enterprise plans. See this documentation page for more details.

@etraut-openai If that is true, the docs need to be updated. The link you shared shows this at the top, and below also mentions saying that ChatGPT EDU uses the Plus limits.
