Feature Request: Improve ChatGPT Work Usage Transparency and Quota Management

Hello OpenAI Team,

First of all, thank you for building such a powerful platform. ChatGPT has become an essential part of my professional work.

While using ChatGPT Work with my Plus subscription, I experienced an unexpected interruption because my Work quota was exhausted. I only became aware of the limit after the Work session stopped.

I would like to suggest a few improvements that could greatly improve the user experience for all ChatGPT users.

1. Live Work Usage Meter

Please display a real-time Work Usage Meter showing:

  • Total Work quota
  • Used quota
  • Remaining quota
  • Reset date and time
  • A visual progress bar

Users should always know how much Work quota remains.

2. Pre-Run Usage Estimate

Before starting a Work task, display an estimated usage such as:

or an approximate percentage of quota expected to be consumed.

This would help users decide whether to continue, simplify the task, or postpone it.

3. Usage Notifications

Please notify users when they reach:

of their Work quota.

4. Better Subscription Transparency

Many users do not know that Work usage has a quota until it suddenly stops.

At the time of subscription purchase and inside the ChatGPT interface, please clearly explain:

  • That Work usage has a quota.
  • How it is measured.
  • Where users can monitor it.
  • When it resets.

This would avoid confusion and improve trust.

5. Carry Forward (Rollover) of Unused Work Quota

Please consider allowing unused Work quota to roll over.

Possible options:

  • Carry forward 100% of unused quota.
  • Or carry forward at least 50%.
  • Or keep unused quota valid for 2–3 months.

Many users work on long-term projects with varying monthly workloads, so this would make subscriptions feel much fairer.

6. Work Usage History

Please provide a page showing:

  • Daily usage
  • Weekly usage
  • Monthly usage
  • Remaining quota
  • Usage by each Work session

This would help users better understand and manage their usage.

These improvements would make ChatGPT Work more transparent, predictable, and user-friendly for researchers, writers, developers, and professionals working on long-term projects.

Thank you for considering these suggestions.
