Overview
- OpenAI introduced a $100 per month ChatGPT Pro plan on Thursday that raises Codex allowances to 5x the Plus tier, with a temporary 10x boost through May 31.
- $200 Pro remains available with 20x Plus limits, and both Pro tiers include the same advanced tools and models with the key difference being usage capacity.
- OpenAI is rebalancing Codex limits on the $20 Plus plan to spread activity across the week, positioning Plus for steady use rather than long single-day sessions.
- The new tier is aimed at developers comparing ChatGPT to Anthropic’s $100 Claude Code plan, with OpenAI claiming Codex offers more coding capacity per dollar during active work.
- OpenAI reports more than 3 million weekly Codex users after 5x growth in three months, a surge that created demand for a middle option so heavy coders can work longer without hitting limits.
