2026-10-24-codex-current-documentation-makes-chatgpt-authenticated-auto-review-free
Current documentation makes ChatGPT-authenticated auto-review free. The current plan help says auto-review safety checks are free and do not consume plan limits when signed in with a ChatGPT account, independently read on 24 October at approximately 10:30 UTC. This is current billing documentation, not proof of when that policy began. Optional Decisions comparison remains off and selects a separate API credential path.
Channel: docs-only. Half: capability. Date: 2026-10-24.
Operator consequence: Retire the broad open question about ordinary ChatGPT-authenticated review pricing. Obtain a request-matched billing record and provider terms for optional API-key comparison before generalizing the free-usage statement.
