OpenAI reportedly launches $500/month Pro 500 tier while halving $200 Pro usage

A Reddit user reports (unverified, framed as a rant) that OpenAI has launched a Pro 500 tier at $500/month ($6,000/year), centered on faster token throughput in Codex via "Ultrafast so Astra".
At the same time, usage on the $200/month Pro plan was reportedly cut roughly in half, then put back on sale — which the author mocks as dressing up a downgrade as a gift. The ladder now reads: $20 Plus (entry), $200 Pro (less than last month), $500 Pro 500 (the heavy-use tier).
The post captures subscriber frustration with OpenAI's pricing tiers and shrinking usage quotas; exact changes await official confirmation.
