[OpenAI Reopens $200 Pro: Price Unchanged, API Equivalent Usage Halved] Beating AI Newsflash: OpenAI will reopen the $200/month Pro 20x plan, but the usage calculation method has been adjusted. Tibo Sottiaux explicitly stated that under the new plan, when converted to equivalent API spending, it amounts to only about half of the previous version. The price remains unchanged, but the most definitive change is the reduction in API equivalent quota. OpenAI has yet to announce the exact quota after the 20x adjustment. OpenAI explained that the API prices for Sol and Luna were recently reduced by approximately 50%, and the models are becoming increasingly efficient, meaning that even with a smaller "dollar quota," it may still accomplish roughly the same or even more work. This logic might hold true for models whose prices were simultaneously halved, but it doesn't guarantee that all models will perform equally. As for the claim of "being able to do more work," there is currently no empirical data comparing the old and new plans to support this. Additionally, the usage transparency of Pro 20x has always been insufficient. Over the past few weeks, GitHub and the OpenAI community have seen a surge in user feedback: weekly quotas suddenly dropping significantly, reset times changing, or long-context and multi-agent tasks consuming far more than expected. Some users even reported that a single Astra Ultra task lasting 5.2 hours consumed approximately 2.4 weeks' worth of Pro 20x quota. [Original Link]
