OpenAI doubles ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium usage limits effective immediately
OpenAI has raised usage limits for ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium users, with the change taking effect immediately from early Oct. 30 Beijing time. The update was announced by Thibault Sottiaux, OpenAI’s head of core product and platform, and was framed as part of the company’s ongoing "28 days of shipping" effort. The move follows OpenAI’s recent decision to grant free API credits to ChatGPT Pro and Business users. The change also resolves a split that had emerged among Pro 200 subscribers. Users who subscribed after Sept. 29 had seen their usage cut in half, while existing users were given a grace period through Oct. 30. Under the new policy, higher-limit Pro 200 users keep their existing allowance, while lower-limit users now get double usage, bringing both groups to the same level. According to the report, Pro 200 usage has effectively returned to its earlier level. ChatGPT Work and Codex now include usage equal to 20 times that of Plus, while GPT-6 Pro in chat mode is capped at 200 messages per week with no five-hour usage limit. OpenAI did not extend Ultrafast access to Pro 200; that feature remains exclusive to Pro 500. Plus-tier limits are unchanged.
