Suspended for three weeks, ChatGPT's Pro subscription reopens its doors with a surprise in the contract: at unchanged rate, the usage value bottoms by half. The admission comes from OpenAI, a few hours from its DevDay.
OpenAI resumes sales of a top-of-the-line personal price of ChatGPT Pro for $200 a month since September 30, and sales have been frozen since September 10 due to an explosive demand for the GPT-6 Astra model. However, the updated plan will differ from the previous one, and the company has changed the schedule for calculating the limits.
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.

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.
