OpenAI reopens its $200 Pro plan but cuts API credits in half as it nudges users toward pay-per-use

OpenAI is reopening its $200 Pro subscription to new sign-ups but cutting API credits per dollar in half. More efficient models like GPT-6 Sol and Luna make up for the difference, employee Thibault Sottiaux says. The move is part of OpenAI's shift from subsidized flat-rate plans toward usage-based billing.
