Tibo Sottiaux says dots is included in Pro without drawing on weekly usage. OpenAI's current Meet dots guide explains the distinction: conversations with a dot do not count toward ChatGPT usage limits, while tasks it starts or manages in Work or Codex still count toward those products' limits as usual.

What the author said · editorial paraphrase
- OpenAI describes dots as an always-on agent powered by GPT-6 Astra, with its own cloud computer and browser. Cloud work can continue while your devices are off. Using your local computer requires that computer to be online with the ChatGPT app open.
- For Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500, the guide specifies users over 18 outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Rollout is gradual: an eligible account may not see dots immediately.
- Business Premium is rolling out worldwide. Enterprise is also rolling out worldwide, but dots is off by default and a workspace administrator must enable it. These are separate workspace conditions.
- The ChatGPT mobile app, desktop app and a desktop browser are supported; mobile web is not. Messaging channels, connected apps and access to a local computer have separate permissions.
AISubHub analysis
The practical distinction is between talking to the agent and the tasks it delegates. Subscribers considering ongoing research or project work need to check both access eligibility and which product's allowance each task uses. A cloud agent can keep working without keeping a personal computer on, while work involving that computer's files or apps still depends on its connection.
Limits and availability
The guide says plans include an allowance for deeper work and extended limits for the first month after launch, but it gives no numeric allowance here. This report is based on public posts and documentation, not an account test. Gradual rollout does not guarantee immediate access, and these posts do not announce a quota reset. The documentation's publication date is not shown; its reading time is recorded separately.
