OpenAI has simplified its API usage tiers into three levels that upgrade automatically as total credit purchases grow: Build ($5 spent, $500/mo limit, 5,000 RPM, 1M TPM), Launch ($100, $5,000/mo, 10,000 RPM, 4M TPM), and Grow ($500, $200,000/mo, 15,000 RPM, 40M TPM — up to 30,000 RPM and 180M TPM on Luna). It also shipped an OpenAI Developers docs plugin to ease API development.
