OpenAI doubles usage limits on ChatGPT Pro plans and drops a planned cut
On Oct. 29, OpenAI doubled the usage limits on its Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500 ChatGPT plans and on Business Premium, effective right away, BleepingComputer reported. It also dropped a planned cut to the Pro 200 allowance after pushback from subscribers. The Plus plan is unchanged, according to The Decoder.
Why it matters to a business like yours
If one or two people on your team run out of ChatGPT partway through a long job, such as drafting proposals or building a work schedule, the same seat now goes twice as far. Check how much of the allowance each paid seat actually uses before you buy another one.
