Codex Credits service page
ChatGPT Credits are OpenAI's pay-as-you-go add-on: when the Codex usage included in your Plus or Pro plan runs out, you keep going on your Credits balance instead of upgrading. According to OpenAI, Credits currently work in Codex, ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT for Excel; your plan's included usage is used first, and Credits are drawn only after that. They are not API credits and are separate from any OpenAI API balance. Xingqiao Subscriptions tops them up in Chinese yuan (CNY): 500 credits from ¥199 and 1000 from ¥398, valid for 12 months from purchase. Pay, paste your Session and confirm the email; no account password needed.
Keep using Codex past your limit without upgrading

Codex on Plus and Pro has a 5-hour and a weekly limit. Once you hit one, there are three options depending on how often it happens.
If it's not urgent, wait. The usage page in Codex or settings shows the next reset time; in the Codex CLI, /status shows it too.
Best when you go over now and then and don't want to change plans: the plan stays the same and usage draws from your Credits balance, which lasts 12 months.
If you hit the limit every week, Pro 5x / 20x is simpler long term. A Plus plan bought from us can be upgraded mid-cycle, with unused days credited at ¥6 per day.
The same flow as a plan top-up, with no account password or verification code.
Pick 500 or 1000 credits above and pay by WeChat Pay or Stripe card / Apple Pay.
Sign in to the ChatGPT account in a browser (it must have an active Plus or Pro plan), open https://chatgpt.com/api/auth/session, copy everything and paste it on the details page, then confirm the email and submit.
Once added, the Credits balance shows under Settings > Usage in ChatGPT, or Usage & Billing in the Codex app.
Going over now and then: Credits, from ¥199 for 500, and your plan stays the same. Hitting the limit almost every week: Pro works out cheaper. Send support a screenshot of recent usage if you want help deciding.
We only add Credits to accounts with an active Plus or Pro plan. OpenAI currently offers Credits to only a small group of Free and Go users; most are asked to upgrade to Plus instead.
