OpenAI halves $200 plan allowance, launches $500 plan

The New Stack reports that OpenAI has halved the allowance on its $200 plan and launched a new $500 plan. The article, published September 29, 2026, describes the change as a reduction in what the existing $200 tier provides alongside the introduction of a higher-priced tier. The source frames the two moves together, presenting the cheaper plan's reduced allowance and the new $500 option as linked pricing changes for OpenAI customers.

Developers on OpenAI's $200 plan face a halved allowance, while a new $500 tier offers an alternative at a higher price.
