OpenAI cuts $200 Pro plan usage: Codex allowance drops from 20x to 10x Plus
k9294 · hn · 2026-10-01
As discussed on Hacker News, OpenAI has notified Pro subscribers that starting October 30, 2026, included usage in ChatGPT Work and Codex will drop from 20x to 10x the ChatGPT Plus allowance — effectively halving the $200 plan's quota. A new Pro 500 tier offers the highest allowance at 25x Plus, plus higher speed. The move clashes with OpenAI's stated commitment that subscriptions will keep delivering more work at increasing quality, and has drawn user criticism.
