OpenAI doubles included Work and Codex usage limits

OpenAI says it doubled usage limits for Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500 and Business Premium, with the change effective immediately.[1] The increase applies to Work and Codex usage included in Pro and Business Premium plans.[3] For Pro 100 and Pro 500, OpenAI says the included Work and Codex allowance is now twice its previous level.[3] The announcement concerns those included allowances; it does not say that every measure of usage, or the number of completed tasks, will rise by the same factor.[4]

The Pro 200 change depends on a subscriber’s prior allowance: those on the lower Work and Codex allowance now receive twice that amount, matching the higher limit.[3] Subscribers who already had the higher allowance keep it.[3] OpenAI also says it canceled the Pro 200 reduction it had announced in a September 29 email.[3] In a post on X, OpenAI said it had heard customer feedback and would not reduce Pro 200 usage limits.[1] For teams reviewing plans, the key distinction is whether a Pro 200 account was on the lower or higher allowance.

New subscriptions include the updated allowance, while existing subscribers receive it automatically without waiting for a renewal.[4] OpenAI lists prices of $100 for Pro 100, $200 for Pro 200 and $500 for Pro 500.[4] Plus usage is unchanged.[4] OpenAI cautions that a larger allowance does not guarantee twice as many completed tasks, and says message limits are separate from the Work and Codex allowance.[4] Those distinctions matter when comparing plan costs or estimating how much work a team can complete.

OpenAI says it will continue offering extended usage limits for Dots for now, and that Dot usage remains separate from a user’s default usage.[1] The company also says it will keep shipping better models and efficiency improvements that increase effective usage over time.[1] These statements describe separate usage arrangements and OpenAI’s stated direction; they do not quantify a further increase to the limits announced here.[1] Teams should therefore distinguish the immediate allowance change from any future effect of model or efficiency improvements.
