chaumian · x · 2026-09-30

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman asked users how they would prefer the company to charge for Codex, fueling speculation that a major pricing change is coming. A widely shared take from Zodomo predicts a $500/month plan is on the way.

No concrete pricing has been confirmed, and the $500/mo figure is community speculation — but OpenAI soliciting billing preferences is typically a sign the current model is about to change, and heavy Codex users should watch for announcements.
