OpenAI Halts New $200 Pro Sign-Ups as Astra Launch Nears
Summary
OpenAI pauses new $200-a-month Pro subscriptions, citing the tier’s heavy infrastructure demand, while keeping API, Go and Plus plans available ahead of Astra’s September 3 rollout to Pro, Plus, Enterprise and Business users.
Key Points
- Thibault Sottiaux says OpenAI disables new $200-per-month Pro sign-ups because that tier places the greatest strain on its infrastructure.
- API, Go and Plus plans remain available, while OpenAI gives no timeline for restoring Pro subscriptions or daily sign-up figures.
- Astra launches September 3 across Pro, Plus, Enterprise and Business accounts; OpenAI raises Codex usage limits as recently as last month.
