Users will find a revised usage system when enrollment for the top tier subscription restarts tomorrow, which reduces the proportional API spending power to 50% of previous levels. OpenAI is reopening the $200 Pro plan but limiting the value of credits compared to the earlier version of the offer. To maintain flexibility, the company will not reintroduce the 5 hour rate limit that previously restricted how quickly users could spend their weekly allocation.
This update follows the launch of GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna this week at 50% of their previous API prices. OpenAI's strategy is to avoid inflating list prices while passing efficiency gains from newer models to subscribers through lower on-demand costs. New subscription features that do not draw on usage quotas will also be introduced tomorrow to increase overall productivity per dollar.
