Overview
- OpenAI has immediately doubled usage quotas for all ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium tiers and restored Pro 200 limits that had been cut for some new subscribers.
- The company updated its official help pages and release notes to document the new Pro-tier rules and said the change takes effect for existing and new subscribers without waiting for renewal.
- Under the revised rules Pro 200 regains its prior allotments for Work and Codex (20 times Plus) and allows 200 GPT-6 Pro chat exchanges per week with no five-hour cap while Ultrafast access remains reserved for Pro 500.
- OpenAI had recently issued free API credits to Pro and Business users and has been rolling daily product updates — including GPT-6 interactive responses, Astra Pro multi-agent features, GPT-6.1 Terra, plus speed and caching work — as part of the improvement push.
- Some web users now see a notice that chat and work modes will merge, and OpenAI has not yet clarified how quotas will be calculated after that merge, leaving uncertainty about future usage accounting.
