The amounts in this demo are tiny so you can watch a meter run out. OpenAI doesn't publish the real size of your dot's allowance.
| Your dot is about to | Counts on | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Chat with you | Not counted | Conversations with your dot don't count toward your ChatGPT usage limits. |
| Work on its cloud computer | Your dot's allowance | Your dot does this work itself, on its own computer, so it comes out of your dot's allowance and leaves your plan's meter alone. |
| Start a task on your computer | Your plan's Work and Codex usage | Your dot hands the job to Work or Codex on your computer, and those tasks count toward your plan's usage as usual. |
| Start a coding task in Codex | Your plan's Work and Codex usage | A coding task in a Codex cloud environment is a Codex task, so it counts toward your plan's usage as usual. |
| Run a scheduled check of the web or your apps | Your dot's allowance | A schedule doesn't change the meter. Your dot runs this check itself, so it counts like any other work on its cloud computer. |
| Run a scheduled check that opens a task on your computer | Your plan's Work and Codex usage | A schedule doesn't change the meter. This run opens a Work or Codex task, so every run draws on your plan's usage. |
