💼 OpenAI cancels Pro limit cuts and raises Work and Codex limits
On October 29, 2026, OpenAI canceled the planned October 30 reduction of limits for the ChatGPT Pro 200 tier ($200/month): for subscribers with high limits for ChatGPT Work and Codex, the limit remains unchanged, while for those whose limit was reduced, it has been doubled to the same level. The Pro 200 subscription is once again open for new sign-ups. On Pro 100 ($100/month) and Pro 500 ($500/month), the included usage of ChatGPT Work and Codex has been doubled, with prices for all three plans remaining unchanged. The increased limit has been automatically credited to existing subscribers, without waiting for a new billing cycle or subscription renewal. Weekly message limits for GPT-6 Pro in standard chat on Pro 100 and Pro 500 remained the same, while the reduced weekly limit on Pro 200 has been aligned to the high level; Plus limits were not changed. The changes were confirmed by the official OpenAI Help Center article "About ChatGPT Pro tiers," updated on October 29, 2026.
🌍 OpenAI officially reversed its own decision from a September 29 letter: instead of cutting limits on Pro 200 starting October 30, the company doubled the included usage of Work and Codex on Pro 100 and Pro 500, aligned the reduced Pro 200 limit to the top level, and reopened the Pro 200 subscription for new customers while keeping the price at $200/month. Instead of the planned reduction, the company increased included volumes without changing prices. Ultrafast mode for GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol remains exclusive to Pro 500: it consumes the included limit at 8× the rate of Standard and is not available on Pro 100/200, even with purchased credits. Only limit and pricing changes were confirmed; sources made no claims regarding model quality.
👤 There is no need to renew your subscription or wait for the next billing cycle: the increased Work and Codex limits are already in effect, and usage and balance can be viewed in Settings → Usage (Usage & Billing in Codex). Pro 200 subscribers with a reduced limit now have twice as much included work, and weekly GPT-6 Pro chat limits have been raised to the top level. However, Ultrafast remains exclusive to Pro 500—purchasing credits on Pro 100/200 does not currently unlock it.
