OpenAI: Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscription

This doesn't bode well, 500$ is the new 200$? Wild that they're doing this after Sonnet/Opus 5.5 releases.

I wonder how legal it is to change usage during a running subscription.

35m agoHN ↗

They also halved API prices with GPT-6, so I think it’ll net out pretty close for sol and Luna, but much less to be used for Astra.

I wonder how legal it is to change usage during a running subscription.

Legality is no concern for these magical companies. Money is of no object, laws do not apply, the return on investment must not be spoken.

38m agoHN ↗

They're halving the $200 sub so it essentially becomes 10x from 20x

23m agoHN ↗

20x was never about total usage, only 5h one. For 2x price you get 2x usage

10m agoHN ↗

Factually wrong. I mean how can 20x be about 5h usage when 5h limits were not part of the Pro plan for a long time.

8m agoHN ↗

You're wrong for OpenAI, their 5x/20x always referred to the full weekly limit, and my (and others') multiple tests confirmed it empirically multiple times by calculating API-equivalent prices, especially when going from one subscription tier to another.

You're right for Anthropic though, their 5x/20x is mostly for 5h limit.

28m agoHN ↗

Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed

17m agoHN ↗

Hard to believe when all they've done so far is raise prices and reduce usage quotas.

The 20x plan right now lasts about 1 day and they're reducing it to half a day of usage?

3m agoHN ↗

I agree with them. Circa 2035, when OpenAI will at best be a Microsoft division, acquired for $20bn.

27m agoHN ↗

"it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan"

So effectively 50% less usage.

22m agoHN ↗

we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality

or your money back?

17m agoHN ↗

Codex GPT-6 models are so congested and slow at the moment it is difficult to get through the current 20x plan anyway.

15m agoHN ↗

Well, this is upsetting. I was already maxing out two $200 subscriptions days before the weekly limit. I wonder how bad it'll be after this change.

5m agoHN ↗

So, they’re finally trying to end the subscription subsidies. Presumably ahead of Q4 so that their financials will look better going into next year for the IPO.
