OpenAI's new API credits make ChatGPT Pro tiers a no-brainer for API users
Quiet-Recording-9269 · reddit · 2026-10-31
OpenAI now grants API credits matching ChatGPT Pro tiers: $100/month on Pro $100, $200 on Pro $200, and $500 on Pro $500, issued per billing cycle without rollover. The poster's math: if you already spend that much on API usage, subscribing instead of buying credits separately costs the same and adds ChatGPT Pro access plus higher Codex limits — so paying for API separately leaves subscription benefits on the table.
