Openai api / Codex subscription

[sadesguy]

Why not add openai api/codex subscription? it can be useful for people who’ve got that chatgpt plus, if they want to have chatgpt 5.5 and not spend any extra money on tokens

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is one I am going to pass on.

A ChatGPT Plus subscription is not an API credential. Making it work here would mean driving the authentication the official ChatGPT and Codex clients use from a third party proxy, which is against OpenAI's terms, and it would put anyone running it at risk of losing their account.

Worth pointing out the reverse direction already works. If you use Codex CLI, you can point it at FreeLLMAPI and route through the free tiers here instead of paying per token:

npx freellmapi setup-codex

That gets you the no extra spend outcome you are after, just from the other side.
