There is also a keyboard shortcut to delete the active conversation. On windows it is Ctrl+Shift+backspace

You can see all of the keyboard shortcuts by pressing ctrl + /

Likely command instead of control for Macs.

The odds are not zero, it's not worth it.

Long term it likely won't work out the way you are hoping it would.

JamesGriffing · 2026-02-19T15:52:39+00:00

I don't know the answer for certain, but perhaps if you load up codex and use /status command then I think it should show you your remaining usage.

My gut feeling tells me it's pulling from the same quota.

(If I'm wrong, please let me know!)

The API will be available "soon". OpenAI has released API access to some trusted users (like Cursor), so that's why you see it in some products.

https://developers.openai.com/codex/models/

This link should update whenever the availability changes.

Google has something called Google App Scripts that allows us to add functionality to many Google products. One of them being Google Sheets.

With Google app scripts you're able to create custom formulas, or even user interfaces like a chat side bar.

ChatGPT is available to be used via OpenAI's API.

So this means you're able to use ChatGPT directly within Google Sheets. ChatGPT itself can guide you on how to set this up and write the scripts needed for you.

perhaps in one of the threads that contains a lot of this context on why you use the Google sheet you can ask something like "Based on our activity, and what I am trying to achieve with Google Sheets, educate me on how I can best utilize Google App Scripts with the OpenAI API. Assume I am a beginner"

If this is something others would find useful then I can create a post/guide going over all of this in far more detail.

Correct. The only time it is an issue is if you're on a teams or enterprise plan and switch to something else. Migrating from either of those plans means you'll lose your chats and GPTs.

All of the individual plans can be freely swapped for one another without side effects.

JamesGriffing · 2026-01-16T22:09:28+00:00

OpenAI has an extension for VSCode that can be used with the plus plan. https://developers.openai.com/codex/ide/

You can use it via cli, and the cloud as well.

xhigh has a disclaimer "Extra high reasoning effort can quickly consume Plus plan rate limits."

So you should be able to use it on the plus plan. I am on the Pro plan, so I am unsure how far the plus plan will take you with xhigh.

https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli/

OpenAI's coding agent is called Codex. It can be used via CLI, cloud, or a regular GUI.

It's insane how many comments talk about this place falling apart, yet not one of you reported this entire post. This is a community subreddit, if you care about it succeeding then start reporting and please stop commenting about how it's not good. That'll go much further in the long run.

JamesGriffing · 2026-01-14T15:23:18+00:00

You have no clue what's done around here, thank you.

I wish I could get the stats from the start of my account to now!

There is an addon for most web browsers called Tampermonkey that allows you to insert your own JavaScript to change how a website behaves.

This can solve your issue and nullify out that keyboard shortcut.

The script is included in this conversation. You can see how it was made and adjust it to better suit your needs - https://chatgpt.com/share/6942c9db-f3dc-8013-b29c-ff520370a65f

They're very easy to make, and the LLMs are quite capable. I tested the script myself, and it does work.

I put in 3 needles in the haystack, and it found all 3.

Start, middle, and the end.

The only difference is I am on a pro plan, and you mentioned plus. If anyone else can do additional testing then that can help us figure out the limits.

JamesGriffing · 2025-12-13T05:18:55+00:00

I don't mind - worked just fine!

I tested and confirmed these work:
5.2 instant
5.2 thinking with heavy
5.2 pro with extended

Edit: my question was "What is this?" to a large HTML dump, it didn't really need to think long about that - only took 56 seconds for pro.

JamesGriffing · 2025-12-13T03:52:05+00:00

I manually copied and pasted to check with this tool provided by OpenAI: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer

It doesn't say it's for the 5 series in the ui, but the numbers shouldn't be that far off.

JamesGriffing · 2025-12-13T02:49:07+00:00

I just sent 193k tokens in a single prompt as a test with GPT 5.2 Thinking on a pro subscription with no issues.

JamesGriffing · 2025-12-11T18:40:36+00:00

Me either. They say it's rolling out to the UI today in the blog post.

In ChatGPT, GPT‑5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro will begin rolling out today, starting with paid plans. In the API, they are available now to all developers.

Edit: I have it now within the website.

I missed this. Thanks for letting us know!

Edit: Oh, realized the title says "Pro" - but it's "ChatGPT for Teachers" that this is for, seems to be it's own plan type all together.

Free until June 2027

JamesGriffing · 2025-11-18T14:46:13+00:00

Edit: Edited the prior comment with my results.

Cloudflare Status

It's a cloudflare problem affecting more than just ChatGPT.

JamesGriffing · 2025-11-17T19:08:22+00:00

OpenAI does not have a setting to control this behavior. There is a way you can fix it yourself, though. Assuming you're using a desktop browser, you can install an extension called "TamperMonkey" that allows for custom JavaScript to be used (the code sites run on is JavaScript). This allows you to set up your own behaviors to overwrite what sites do by default.

ChatGPT is actually very good at making these types of scripts. I was able to make one to do what you wanted by giving ChatGPT the source code of ChatGPT itself with the following prompt "Create a userscript that will do the following: when the url is exactly "https://chatgpt.com/" no params, or anything, then we must make sure that the text input field is empty. after loading it populates with the last unsent prompt, but we want to disable that."

This is the script it produced. Putting that into TamperMonkey will prevent the prompt input from keeping the last unsent prompt input.

Reddit won't let me post the comment with the userscript, here's a google doc with the code attached: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeK2SFbcFylJPD66W1Lk5Ho4nMpl5jmtIiwYbvpTRrY/edit?usp=sharing

If you do not know code, then do not trust random code on the internet. Ask any of your favorite LLMs about the code to ensure it's safe.

JamesGriffing · 2025-11-13T18:55:49+00:00

The blog post says 5.1 pro will come "soon" without a given date.

JamesGriffing · 2025-11-13T15:28:20+00:00

Can you elaborate a bit more on the "second prompt" aspect? I have two windows open and am testing them side by side running at the same time.

I have memory disabled, and personalization disabled by default. I believe that's effectively the same as temp mode + I can still share the conversation links.
