ChatGPT Pro 500
What happened
OpenAI introduced a new ChatGPT Pro 500 plan priced at $500 per month, featuring the GPT‑6 Astra Ultrafast and GPT‑6.1 Sol Ultrafast models, while reinstating the Pro 200 tier at $200 per month with increased Work and Codex allowances. All three Pro tiers (100, 200, 500) now include more Work and Codex usage, but only the 500 plan offers Ultrafast access. Usage limits are applied first from the plan’s allowance then from purchased credits, and limits reset periodically without ending the subscription. The plans retain weekly message caps, and abuse guardrails remain in place.
Why it matters
For regular users, the new tier provides faster model options but at a higher cost, while existing Pro 200 users keep their enhanced allowances. Understanding the limits and credit usage helps avoid unexpected interruptions.
Reality check
An automated, sceptical read of the sourceIncremental. The update adds a higher‑priced tier with faster models but largely reshuffles existing features rather than introducing fundamentally new capabilities.
Is this a big deal?
