OpenAI Reopening tomorrow 200 USD Pro subscription, new plan conversion API Usage approximately halved
PANews September 29 reported that OpenAI Codex Product lead Tibo posted that the monthly 200 USD Pro subscription plan will reopen to new users tomorrow, but the usage calculation method will be adjusted; based on API spending conversion, the new plan will offer approximately half the available allowance of the previous Pro 200 USD plan. Tibo said that OpenAI will not reintroduce the 5 hourly usage limit, and users can still use their weekly allowance as needed. As model efficiency improves and API prices decline, the amount and quality of work that subscribers can complete per unit of USD will continue to improve. The GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna prices launched this week have fallen to half their previous levels. In addition,OpenAI will announce more subscription benefits that do not count toward usage tomorrow.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
In simple terms, the reported new Pro plan will still cost monthly 200 USD, but the method for calculating usage will change. If converted based on API spending, the available allowance will be approximately half that of the old plan; meanwhile, the report says the 5 hourly limit will not be restored, and users will continue using it under a weekly allowance.
Why it matters to readers
This will directly affect how new Pro subscribers assess how much usage their 200 USD monthly fee can purchase. The additional benefits that do not count toward usage have not yet been announced, so looking only at the “allowance halved” point is insufficient to fully assess the new plan's actual value.
Those preparing to subscribe should focus on verifying the official opening time, weekly allowance, how usage is calculated, and which features do not count toward usage before deciding whether the plan suits their usage frequency.
Risks and unknowns
The information comes from PANews's account of Tibo's post; the original text did not provide OpenAI confirmation from an official announcement or product page.
Both the reopening and the new subscription benefits are said to occur “tomorrow”; the evidence contains no result confirming that they have actually gone live.
The evidence does not specify the weekly allowance, the usage calculation formula, or the scope of its application.
The evidence does not list which subscription benefits are excluded from usage.
