OpenAI Pauses New Sign-ups for $200/month ChatGPT Pro, No Reopening Date
mark_k · x · 2026-09-11
Starting September 10, OpenAI is temporarily pausing new sign-ups and upgrades to the $200/month ChatGPT Pro (Pro 20x) tier, with no reopening date announced. Existing subscriptions continue to renew and the $100 Pro plan remains available. The catch: cancel or downgrade and you can't get the $200 plan back until the pause lifts, though scheduled cancellations can still be reversed before the billing cycle ends — a consequential change for users relying on the highest usage limits.
