Users Petition OpenAI for $400-$600 Heavy Builder Tier as $200 Plan Runs Dry in 48 Hours

A Redditor publicly petitioned Sam Altman for a $400–$600/month "Heavy Builder" tier:
- The current $200 Pro tier's allowance evaporates in 24–48 hours when running persistent 24/7 agent loops (ML research workflows, complex backend architectures, large-scale refactoring).
- Proposal: 60–100x Plus limits (about 2.5–3x the current $200 tier), targeting developers running long-context multi-agent systems who want predictable subscriptions instead of token-burn anxiety.
- The author claims many engineers would happily pay $500/month out of pocket or via expense to remove the rate-limit ceiling.
