OpenAI has reopened its $200-per-month Pro subscription to new users while cutting the included API credits per dollar in half. According to company employee Thibault Sottiaux, the adjustment signals a strategic shift away from heavily subsidized flat-rate plans and toward a usage-based billing model.

How do the new models offset the credit cut?

Subscribers are expected to maintain similar productivity levels despite the credit reduction because new models like GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna launched at half the API price of their predecessors. Sottiaux notes that as underlying API prices fall, the gap between flat-rate subscriptions and pay-per-use will eventually close for most developers.

What changes for daily power users?

The rigid 5-hour usage cap has been removed for good. Developers and heavy users can now distribute their weekly credit allotment flexibly across tasks rather than being forced into strict hourly windows, altering how intensive workflows are paced throughout the week.
