A top AI plan just doubled its agent and coding allowance, and called off a cut
Updated .
On Oct 29, 2026, OpenAI gave its ChatGPT Pro plans twice the Work and Codex allowance (its agent and coding tools) and canceled the Pro 200 cut it had announced on Sept 29. Prices stay the same. 1
What changed
- Pro 100 (US$100/mo) and Pro 500 (US$500/mo): twice their previous Work and Codex allowance. Their weekly GPT-6 Pro message limits in regular chat don't change. 1
- Pro 200 (US$200/mo): the reduction is off. If you had the higher allowance, you keep it; if you had the lower one, it doubled to match. 1
- When: now, for new and existing subscribers. You don't need to wait for renewal or cancel and resubscribe. 1
- What didn't change: Plus usage, the prices, and Ultrafast mode, which is still Pro 500 only. 1
An OpenAI employee's post says Business Premium is getting the increase too. OpenAI's help page doesn't mention it, so treat that as reported, not confirmed. 2
What it means for you
- Twice the allowance isn't twice the finished work. OpenAI says so itself: how far it goes still depends on the model, the task and your settings, and Fast mode uses it 2.5x quicker (Ultrafast on Pro 500 uses it 8x quicker). 1
- Don't upgrade on the news alone. If Plus covers you, nothing changed for you.
- Check your own usage page this week to see how far your plan really goes.
Where to check your usage
- Grok: remaining usage is in settings. 3
- Grok Bot: shares the same weekly X Subscription pool as Grok. 4
- Claude: Settings → Usage on paid plans. 5
- Gemini: limits depend on your plan and how complex your prompts are. 6
- ChatGPT: Settings → Usage, or Usage & Billing in Codex. 1
