ChatGPT’s $200 Pro plan is finally coming back, but OpenAI is changing the deal

TL;DR OpenAI is reopening new subscriptions to its $200 ChatGPT Pro plan on September 30 after pausing them earlier this month. The returning plan offers about half the previous API-dollar allowance, though OpenAI says cheaper models and the removal of the five-hour cap should offset it. Meanwhile, an unannounced $500/month ChatGPT Pro Max tier has surfaced, promising the “Fastest Work and Codex” as a key perk.
