OpenAI adjusts ChatGPT pro tiers, removes usage multipliers

This weekend, ChatGPT users noticed changes to the paid subscription tiers, with the $100 and $200 Pro plans renamed to 'Pro Standard' and 'Pro More.' The previous descriptions highlighting 5x and 20x usage compared to the Plus tier were removed, replaced by vague claims of 'more usage than Plus.' These changes were hinted at earlier, with OpenAI updating its codex code repository on September 25, introducing a new 'promax' tier named 'Pro (Max).' Leaked in-app strings suggest this tier costs $500 per month, emphasizing fast performance and advanced Codex capabilities. The removal of specific usage multipliers has raised concerns among existing users, fearing reduced benefits. Opinions are divided: some support tiered pricing for resource-intensive models, while others criticize the lack of transparency. OpenAI's DevDay conference on Tuesday may reveal more about the Pro Max tier.
