The change was posted by @thsottiaux as 'Day 25,' and OpenAI's account reposted it. Pro 200 limits won't be reduced, so Work and Codex usage on that tier stays the same. Extended limits for dots continue for now, with dot usage kept separate from default usage. The team says it will keep shipping better models and efficiency improvements to stretch usage further. ## Content OpenAI is doubling all usage limits for the Pro 100, 200 and 500 tiers and for Business Premium, effective immediately. @thsottiaux announced it as "Day 25" of a running series of posts, and OpenAI's account reposted it. The Pro 200 cut is also off. OpenAI said it heard the feedback and won't reduce limits for that tier, so Work and Codex usage there stays the same. Extended limits for dots continue for now, and dot usage remains separate from default usage. OpenAI also says it will keep shipping better models and efficiency improvements that raise effective usage over time. ## What people made of it @AlexFinn read it as a 4x swing. He said a permanent 50% reduction had been planned for today, and instead limits are doubled, so they sit four times higher than where they were headed. He noticed it while having Astra edit a video, when his usage meter suddenly doubled and confused him. His verdict: "This HAS to be the best value in AI right now." He also previewed his video editing workflow: - Run Astra 6 on high, at ultra fast speed - Keep CapCut open on a second monitor - Have Astra 6 use computer use to make the edits there - Improve your skill as you go He said Terra didn't work as well for this, and that Astra on ultra fast is faster than a human editor. @testingcatalog flagged the change too, and @jxnlco and @charliermarsh reposted the announcement. @grok, replying to a @Polymarket thread, confirmed that OpenAI made the announcement and that the planned Pro 200 cut is canceled. ## Questions this post answers ### Did OpenAI increase usage limits for Pro and Business Premium plans?

Pro 200 limits are not being reduced, so Work and Codex usage there stays the same. Extended limits for dots continue separately from default usage. _Track changes like this before they affect your Codex or Work usage budget on daily.dev._ ## Community take How the wider developer community reacted, aggregated from 5 discussions and 1113 comments across x (as of 2026-10-29). **TL;DR:** Reaction is dominated by confusion over whether this is a real doubling or just OpenAI canceling a planned halving for Pro 200, with Pro 100 and Pro 500 users generally seeing it as a genuine win while Plus subscribers feel ignored. **Sentiment:** 30% positive · 45% mixed · 25% skeptical **The case for** - Many agree Pro 100 and Pro 500 got a real doubling of usage (to 10x and 50x respectively), making those tiers much better value than before. - Some codex/work users say the change restores confidence they can rely on their usage allotment again. - A few call it the best news in weeks and express excitement about the announcement. **The pushback** - Several point out that for Pro 200 this isn't really a doubling at all, just OpenAI canceling a planned cut, so grandfathered users end up with the same limits as before. - Plus subscribers repeatedly complain they got nothing from this change and still face the 5-hour usage limit. - Some accuse OpenAI/the announcement of confusing or misleading wording around the 'doubling' framing. - A couple of commenters voice broader distrust, saying the company prioritizes enterprise/investment optics over everyday Plus users. **By community** - x (mixed): Replies split between excitement from Pro 100/500 users getting a real doubling and skepticism/frustration from Pro 200 and Plus users who feel the framing is misleading or that they got nothing. **Hottest debate:** Whether the Pro 200 tier actually got a doubling of usage or OpenAI merely canceled a previously planned halving, leaving its limits unchanged. **Open questions** - Will Plus subscribers ever see improvements to their usage limits or the 5-hour cap? - What are the exact before/after usage numbers for each tier, since the 'doubling' framing is seen as unclear? **Highlights** > @AlexFinn in other words all plans were doubled pro 100: 10x usage of the $20 subscription (was 5x) pro 200: 20x usage of the $20 subscription (same limit old subscribers had, new subscribers had 10x) pro 500: 50x usage of the $20 subscription (was 25x) > — [udiWertheimer on x · 1 comments](https://x.com/udiWertheimer/status/2115860408011468914) > @thsottiaux Do not fall for abysmally worded post. Your 200 dollars sub is NOT getting doubled the value, all they are doing is not halving it lmaoo > — [camperaigg on x · 2 points, 1 comments](https://x.com/camperaigg/status/2115860806034489754) > @AlexFinn no, you misdoubled the doubling. it’s only one doubling > — [udiWertheimer on x · 4 points, 1 comments](https://x.com/udiWertheimer/status/2115857634427392130) > @thsottiaux Plus users went completely invisible for 25 straight days. And Plus represents far more paying users than Pro. Careful, Tibo. Loyalty isn’t unlimited. Keep treating your biggest paying user base like the forgotten tier, and some of us will simply take our $20 somewhere else. 👋 > — [arcangel3ac on x · 1 points](https://x.com/arcangel3ac/status/2115854227520037300) > @AlexFinn this also means that the 100 and 500 plans that previously sucked are now very good. i’d say actually there isn’t much reason to start with 200 anymore, everyone should start with 100 and increase based on their needs. also 500 is good value finally if you’re a heavy user > — [udiWertheimer on x · 1 comments](https://x.com/udiWertheimer/status/2115860821641179290) **Source threads** - [x](https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2115850175868727621) · 7 points · 1031 comments - [x](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2115854368566321594) · 0 points · 0 comments - [x](https://x.com/charliermarsh/status/2115857189474832503) · 0 points · 0 comments - [x](https://x.com/AlexFinn/status/2115857254880780550) · 0 points · 82 comments - [x](https://x.com/jxnlco/status/2115861532063994005) · 0 points · 0 comments ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [OpenAI’s new $100 tier targets developers hitting Codex \(and Claude Code\) limits](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-s-new-100-tier-targets-developers-hitting-codex-and-claude-code-limits-a63cw44kk) · The New Stack · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#openai-codex](https://daily.dev/tags/openai-codex) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/usage-limits-doubled-for-pro-100-200-500-and-business-premium-m0dfez0yv) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Usage limits doubled for Pro 100/200/500 and Business Premium","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/usage-limits-doubled-for-pro-100-200-500-and-business-premium-m0dfez0yv","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/usage-limits-doubled-for-pro-100-200-500-and-business-premium-m0dfez0yv"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T17:13:04.317Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T18:41:24.886Z","description":"Usage limits are doubling today for Pro 100, 200 and 500 tiers and for Business Premium.
