OpenAI Reopens Its $200 Pro Plan but Cuts API Credits in Half as It Nudges Users Toward Pay-per-Use

Summary by The Decoder
OpenAI is reopening its $200 Pro subscription to new sign-ups but cutting API credits per dollar in half. More efficient models like GPT-6 Sol and Luna make up for the difference, employee Thibault Sottiaux says. The move is part of OpenAI's shift from subsidized flat-rate plans toward usage-based billing.

There is a heated debate on social media following a striking announcement by OpenAI. The company announced earlier today that the most expensive ChatGPT subscription is returning after a short break, but also appears to have significantly cut back on the performance of usable models.

One report points out that OpenAI again accepted records in its $200 monthly Pro plan, although with fewer API credits per dollar. Plan availability and usage changes require caution: the company had paused new subscriptions in September, and the five-hour limit mentioned in previous reports was reinstated for some products.
