OpenAI reversed a planned reduction in usage allowances and instead announced it is doubling usage limits for several ChatGPT Pro tiers. The company said the change takes effect immediately and was prompted by customer feedback after earlier plans to cut included usage for some subscribers.
What OpenAI announced
Tibo, the face of ChatGPT and Codex on X, confirmed that OpenAI is doubling usage limits for all Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500 tiers and for Business Premium, effective immediately. The change primarily affects ChatGPT Work and Codex, which share usage allowances under eligible subscriptions. OpenAI also said it will not reduce usage limits for Pro 200 subscribers as previously planned.
Why the reversal happened
OpenAI had earlier planned to reduce the included usage allowance for existing Pro 200 subscribers after October 29 while keeping the subscription price at $200 per month. Following customer backlash, the company reversed that decision and expanded limits instead, citing user feedback in its announcement on X.
How Dots fit into the picture
Alongside the subscription changes, OpenAI confirmed that extended usage limits for Dots — its always-on AI assistants — will continue for now. The company emphasized that usage of a user’s Dot remains separate from their default usage allowances.
What remains unclear
OpenAI did not publish exact numerical usage limits for each tier in its announcement. That means subscribers know allowances have increased and that Dots stay separate, but the specific quotas per plan were not disclosed.
What this means for Pro subscribers
For now, Pro subscribers gain more room to use ChatGPT Work and Codex without upgrading to a higher-priced plan. The immediate policy reversal underscores that OpenAI is willing to adjust subscription rules in response to customer feedback, but subscribers looking for precise limits will need to wait for more detailed figures from the company.
