The OpenAI Codex team said it will reopen its $200 Pro subscription to new users tomorrow and change how usage is calculated, according to a post on X by team member Tibo cited by ChainCatcher. Based on Tibo’s own estimate, the revised setup would make the API spending represented by the subscription equivalent to half of the old $200 Pro plan. Tibo said the team does not want to compromise in other ways and will not bring back a five-hour usage cap, so users can draw on their weekly allowance as needed. He also said subscriptions should improve over time as model efficiency rises and API prices fall, allowing users to complete more work and get better quality for the same spending. He added that the team cut prices for GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna to 50% of their previous levels this week and plans to keep lowering prices and improving capability, rather than raising list prices and presenting discounts as savings. Tibo also said the subscription will gain additional items tomorrow that will not count against usage limits, though he did not specify what those items are.

The OpenAI Codex team will reopen its $200 Pro subscription to new users tomorrow and change how usage is calculated, according to ChainCatcher, which cited a post on X from team member Tibo.

Tibo said that, by his estimate, the revised structure means the API spending represented by the subscription will be equivalent to half of the old $200 Pro plan.

He said the team does not want to compromise in other ways and promised not to restore the five-hour usage cap, allowing users to use their weekly quota as needed.

Tibo also said subscriptions should let users get more done and receive higher-quality output for the same spend as model efficiency improves and API pricing declines.

He added that the team cut the prices of GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna to 50% of their previous levels this week. The plan, he said, is to keep reducing prices and improving capability, rather than raising API list prices first and then presenting discounts as a benefit.

Tibo also disclosed that the subscription will gain several additions tomorrow that will not count against usage limits, though he did not specify what those items are. He said the team is explaining the accounting change in advance so users understand it before later subscription-related announcements.
