Follow-up on OpenAI's usage-limit bug: the $500/month Pro plan was effectively enforcing the same usage limits as the $200 plan — "it was a $200 plan all along."
Affected users will receive roughly $1,000 in credits. The poster calculates that, at GPT-6 Astra output pricing, that equals about 20M output tokens — arguably thin compensation for Pro 500 subscribers.
