OpenAI has doubled usage limits for its $100, $200, and $500 ChatGPT Pro plans and for Business Premium, effective October 29. The announcement came from Tibo, who represents ChatGPT and Codex on X, and it replaces an earlier plan to reduce the usage allowance for existing Pro 200 subscribers after October 29.
“We are doubling all usage limits for all Pro 100/200/500 tiers and Business Premium, effective today,” Tibo wrote. The company says it reversed course following customer feedback.
OpenAI Reverses the Planned ChatGPT Pro 200 Usage Cut
OpenAI had planned to lower the included usage allowance for Pro 200 subscribers while keeping the subscription price at $200 per month. That cut is now off the table. “We heard your kind feedback and won’t be reducing usage limits for Pro 200, so your Work and Codex usage will stay the same,” Tibo said in the same post.
The higher limits mainly affect ChatGPT Work and Codex, which share usage allowances under eligible subscriptions. Pro subscribers who rely on Codex for coding tasks or on Work for longer jobs get more room before they hit the cap, without moving to a more expensive tier.
OpenAI is also keeping extended limits for Dots, its always-on AI assistants. “We’re also going to continue offering extended limits for Dots for now, and usage of your dot will still continue to be separate from your default usage,” the company said. Dots usage therefore does not draw from the doubled Work and Codex allowance.
The change follows a busy month for OpenAI pricing, including the launch of GPT-6.1 Terra with lower API pricing earlier this week.
What ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium Subscribers Should Check
No action is required to receive the higher limits, since OpenAI applied them to eligible accounts immediately. Subscribers can still use the change to review their plans:
- Pro 200 subscribers who were preparing to switch plans because of the announced cut keep their previous Work and Codex usage, now doubled.
- Pro 100 subscribers who regularly reach their cap get twice the allowance at the same $100 price.
- Pro 500 and Business Premium customers receive the same doubling on their existing allowance.
- Dots users keep a separate allowance that does not count against default usage.
OpenAI does not publish exact numerical usage limits for each tier, so subscribers cannot verify the doubling against a published figure. The company also describes the extended Dots limits as available “for now” and has not said how long they will stay in place.
