OpenAI Gives In: Pro Subscription Quotas Doubled, Halving Plan Withdrawn Overnight
OpenAI overturned the late-September notice that had sparked subscriber dissatisfaction. On October 29, it announced an immediate increase to the Work and Codex usage quotas in ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium: all three Pro tiers—100, 200, and 500—are doubled; new users get it immediately, and existing users have it take effect automatically without needing to renew; usage for Dots, the always-on AI assistant extension, is calculated independently. This reversal came only one day after the originally planned cut. The controversy stemmed from September 29, when OpenAI had issued a notice citing improved model efficiency.
