OpenAI reopened new signups for the ChatGPT Pro 200 plan. It cut the plan’s usage advantage over Plus from 20x to 10x. Existing Pro subscribers received a grace period and usage credits. OpenAI cited new compute-heavy features and a 50% API rate cut for GPT-6 Sol and Luna. It ruled out reintroducing a five-hour usage limit. OpenAI said it wants to avoid inflating API prices to justify subscription value. It promised more non-usage features like Dot assistants. The change reflects ongoing adjustments to flat-rate plans for new AI features.
