$500/Month ChatGPT Pro Max Yields Only ~50 Prompts a Week in User's Real-World Test
RexDouglass · x · 2026-09-30
User @bridgemindai stress-tested the new $500/month ChatGPT Pro Max plan: a single GPT 6 Astra prompt in ultrafast mode ran for 2 minutes and consumed 2% of the weekly limit.
That works out to roughly 50 prompts, or about 100 minutes of work, before the weekly quota is exhausted — leading the user to call the tier "a complete scam." Heavy users should scrutinize the real cost-efficiency of the top tier before subscribing.
