OpenAI has temporarily lowered the API and credits pricing for GPT-5.6 Sol, with the discount set to run at least through Nov. 21. For standard short-context usage, input pricing falls from $5 to $4 per million tokens and output from $30 to $20. Long-context output is cut in half, from $60 to $30 per million tokens, while long-context input moves from $10 to $8. The new API pricing is already in effect, and credits pricing for ChatGPT Work and Codex will be adjusted later. Subscription allotments for Plus, Pro and Business users remain unchanged. OpenAI had previously cut prices for GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna, completing a pricing reset across the three-model GPT-5.6 lineup.
