Leak: OpenAI Pro 20x Signups Closed to New Users for 9 Days on Compute Crunch
haider1 · x · 2026-09-19
A user claims OpenAI needs to bring GPT-6 Astra down to Tera-level pricing or there won't be enough compute to support the new user base.
They note Pro 20x subscriptions have been disabled for new users for nine straight days. While agreeing Astra is far more broadly useful, they argue there still isn't enough compute to support everyone even at the current price.
(Unverified leak concerning subscription quotas and compute supply.)
