Identify which product you want to use first
For a coding workflow, establish whether you actually use ChatGPT, Codex or the API. Their entry points, billing and usage limits differ.
- Confirm which product you use
- Keep API credits and ChatGPT subscriptions separate
Follow your account's current usage and availability
Plan descriptions help you choose a tier; they do not replace live account usage, model availability or product notices. For frequent coding, confirm the tier's current details before purchasing.
- Review product tier details
- Check your account's live usage indicators
Preparing information for an issue
If account access, permissions or usage issues arise after buying, save the account notice and order number, then contact support.
- Keep your order number
- Provide the error notice, not your password
