OpenAI doubles some usage limits for Pro and Business, and updates its Model Spec
OpenAI announced that it is doubling some usage limits for Pro 100/200/500 and Business Premium, but Pro 200 in practice only reverses a previously planned limit reduction, while Work and Codex usage remain unchanged. OpenAI also updated its "Model Spec," restructuring it around five values—human intent, reducing harm, honesty and transparency, human autonomy, and care—and adding principles for context, memory and personalization, and human oversight. Dots, after communicating with regulators, expects to launch more broadly in Europe "within a few weeks."

OpenAI Doubles Pro Plan Quotas; Article Reviews Backend Token Consumption of AI Coding Tools
OpenAI product lead Tibo announced that usage limits for the Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500, and Business Premium plans have all been doubled, and that the quota reduction for Pro 200 has been withdrawn; Pro 500 can get usage equivalent to 50 times that of Plus. The article notes that this falls on day 25 of OpenAI's 28-day improvement plan, and some Pro 200 users believe it merely cancels a planned reduction rather than adding new benefits. The article also reviews the hidden token consumption caused by backend sub-agent status summaries in Codex and Claude Code; an Anthropic engineer said that agent_summary, at API list prices, accounts for about 2% of total cost, and that the issue of missed prompt caching has been fixed in Claude Code 2.1.311 and later versions.

OpenAI Cancels Plan to Halve ChatGPT Pro 200 Quota, Doubles Usage Quotas Across Pro Tiers
After user pushback, OpenAI announced that it is immediately doubling the usage quotas for Work and Codex in ChatGPT Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500, and Business Premium, and canceling its original plan to cut the Pro 200 quota by about 50%. Previously, on September 29, OpenAI notified users that it would reduce quotas, citing improved model efficiency, which sparked dissatisfaction among subscribers. New subscribers will directly receive the updated quotas, and existing users will have them take effect automatically without waiting for renewal; OpenAI also reminds users that Fast mode consumes about 2.5 times the quota of Standard mode, while Ultrafast consumes 8 times as much.

OpenAI cancels ChatGPT Pro quota cuts after user backlash, doubles usage limits across tiers
OpenAI said it will not cut the usage limits for the $100, $200, and $500 ChatGPT Pro tiers and Business Premium, and announced that effective immediately it is doubling the usage limits for all Pro 100/200/500 tiers and Business Premium. A previous plan to cut the Pro 200 tier quota drew user opposition, and OpenAI said that after listening to feedback it will keep Work and Codex usage unchanged. The company also said it will temporarily continue to provide expanded quotas for Dots, and that Dots usage will still be calculated separately from default usage.

OpenAI raises usage limits for Pro plans, doubling Pro 100 and Pro 500
OpenAI has doubled the usage limits for several paid tiers, covering the Work and Codex quotas for Pro 100 and Pro 500, both of which receive twice their previous allowances. The lower-tier quota for Pro 200 is likewise doubled, and a previously planned reduction has been withdrawn; the Plus plan remains unchanged, and the new allowances apply automatically to both new subscriptions and existing users. OpenAI says that doubling quotas does not equal doubling the number of completed tasks, because consumption varies with the model, task type, and settings. The move comes as Anthropic prepares for an IPO and the two companies compete for B2B dominance.
