GPT-6 Astra bank-reset abuse blamed for ChatGPT Pro 20x weekly quota halving
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-06
A community analysis claims ChatGPT Pro's 20x weekly quota was cut in half because the GPT-6 Astra launch handed Plus users too many bank resets. Relay sites stockpiled Plus accounts, upgraded them to Pro 20x on use, instantly burned the natural weekly quota plus a bank reset to max it out, then resold quota in bulk. OpenAI also allegedly throttled speeds to prevent crashes until the September 4/5 bank resets expired. Unconfirmed by OpenAI.
