What changed
OpenAI has doubled usage limits for several paid tiers, specifically affecting Work and Codex quotas on the Pro 100 and Pro 500 plans. These plans now receive twice the previous allotment. On the Pro 200 plan, OpenAI doubled the lower quota and reversed a planned cut following user pushback. The Plus plan remains unchanged. New subscriptions already include the updated quotas, and existing customers will receive them automatically.
What this means in practice
The expanded limits for the new 'Dots' also remain in place for now, though Dot usage is tracked separately. OpenAI clarified that doubling a quota does not mean twice as many completed tasks, as consumption varies by model, task type, and settings. The company also mentioned that it will continue to release better models and efficiency gains to increase usable capacity.
Limitations and availability
The changes apply to Pro 100, Pro 200, and Pro 500 plans, with the Plus plan unaffected. The updated quotas are available to new and existing customers. OpenAI recently released its 6.1 models Terra and Sol, which are more efficient while matching or beating their predecessors. The move comes as Anthropic prepares for its IPO, with both companies competing for B2B dominance in AI.
