OpenAI has lowered the voice usage cost for Work and Codex inside the ChatGPT desktop app, reducing quota consumption by nearly 60%. With the same quota, users can now get about 2.4x more voice time than before. The voice feature in this case is mainly used to direct agents, letting users start tasks by speaking, ask for progress updates, or coordinate multiple Work and Codex agents at the same time from the desktop app. OpenAI also drew a clear line between this change and the standard ChatGPT Voice used in regular chat. Voice connection time and the actual execution of agent tasks are counted separately, and regular ChatGPT Voice continues to follow its own usage duration and billing rules. The change applies specifically to desktop Work and Codex Voice.

The change applies to desktop Work and Codex Voice

This voice function is mainly used to directly instruct agents. In the ChatGPT desktop app, users can speak to start tasks, ask for progress updates, or coordinate multiple Work and Codex agents at the same time.

Connection time and task execution are billed separately

Voice connection time itself and the actual execution of tasks by agents are counted separately for usage.

OpenAI said the adjustment is specific to desktop Work and Codex Voice and should not be confused with standard ChatGPT Voice in regular chat. That product has its own separate usage duration and billing rules.
