OpenAI Quietly Revamps ChatGPT Pro Tiers, Drops 5x/20x Usage Multipliers, Adds Pro Max
As of September 28, 2026, OpenAI has updated its ChatGPT pricing page, renaming the $100/month and $200/month Pro plans to 'Pro Standard' and 'Pro More' respectively, and removing the explicit '5x more usage than Plus' and '20x more usage than Plus' descriptions in favor of a vague 'More usage than Plus'. A code change merged on September 25 added a new 'Pro (Max)' plan type, with leaked in-app strings suggesting a $500/month price and the description 'Fastest Work and Codex'. The changes suggest OpenAI is restructuring its tier framework to accommodate a third Pro level.

各位尊贵的订阅用户们，OpenAI 的套餐订阅定价似乎有哪里不太对劲。 9 月 27 日，陆续有用户发现，OpenAI 对 ChatGPT 的定价页面做了一次「静悄悄的手术」。原本的 Pro 订阅似乎变得不一样了。 简单来说，100 美元/月和 200 美元/月的 Pro 方案，现在分别叫 「Pro Standard」和「Pro More」。 另外，原本写得清清楚楚的「5x more usage than Plus」和「20x more usage than Plus」，也就是我们一直习惯的 5x 和 20x 套餐已被全部删除 。 现在的「Pro Standard」和「Pro More」套餐里的用量描述只剩下一句含糊的 「More usage than Plus」 。 此前，ChatGPT Pro 的两个档位有明确的量化承诺：100 美元/月对应 Plus 用量的 5 倍，200 美元/月对应 20 倍。这是用户选择订阅档位最直接的决策依据。现在，这些数字消失了。 有意思的是，OpenAI 自己的文档里还保留着旧的用量倍数说明。定价页和文档之间出现了「打架」的局面。 9 月 25 日，OpenAI 公开的 openai/codex 代码仓库合并了一个 PR（ #47971 ），标题为：「Add Pro Max plan support and update Pro display names」。这个涉及 24 个文件的改动透露了三件事： 第一，代码中新增了一个 promax 方案类型，对外显示名称为「Pro (Max)」。 第二，现有方案的内部命名同步调整：原来的 prolite 改为显示名「Pro」（即定价页上的 Pro Standard），原来的 pro 改为 「Pro (More)」。 第三，代码中没有写入具体价格。但早些时候泄露的应用内字符串显示， Pro Max 的定价为 500 美元/月 ，描述为「Fastest Work and Codex」。 这也是定价页抹掉用量倍数的可能原因：旧的 5x / 20x 体系不足以容纳第三个层级，OpenAI 需要一套新的表述框架来区分三档 Pro 方案。 Pro Max 的泄露描述是「Fastest Work and Codex」，指向两个方向：最快的推理速度和完整的 Codex 编程能力。 有未经证实的消息称，Pr

OpenAI pauses new ChatGPT Pro 20X subscriptions citing Astra demand
OpenAI announced on Friday that it is pausing new subscriptions and upgrades to its ChatGPT Pro $200 (Pro 20X) plan, citing unprecedented demand for the Astra model and insufficient compute capacity to maintain user experience. Existing subscribers are unaffected, and no timeline was given for resuming sales. The move follows earlier warnings from OpenAI's product lead and reflects Astra's higher token consumption, with usage rates roughly 2.5 times that of GPT-5.6 Sol.
