❯ OpenAI raises Pro and Business Premium limits and cancels the Pro 200 cut

Higher paid allowancesOpenAI product leader Thibault Sottiaux said in an October 29 update, U.S. time, that usage limits for Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500 and Business Premium were increasing immediately. In day 25 of the company’s 28-day improvement series, he also confirmed that the planned Pro 200 reduction was canceled, preserving the higher existing allowance for ChatGPT Work and Codex.

Preserving older allowances and restoring newer onesNew Pro 200 subscribers after September 29 had a lower allowance, while existing subscribers were in a transition period. The change doubles the lower allowance to match the previous higher level. Subscribers already on that higher level retain their existing allowance. Pro 100 and Pro 500 receive higher Work and Codex allowances than before.

Task choices still affect usageOfficial OpenAI documentation confirms that Work and Codex share usage and that Pro currently has no five-hour limit, although other usage constraints remain. Context size, model choice and speed affect consumption, and Ultrafast has separate eligibility requirements. For people using these tools throughout a coding or office workday, the immediate benefit is more work within the same subscription and the removal of the expected Pro 200 cut.

▮ SIGNALHigher allowances at the same subscription price give frequent coding and office users more capacity, strengthening the appeal of premium plans.
