ChatGPT new Pro pricing

A ChatGPT Pro 200 subscriber reports that starting October 30, their plan will offer half the usage for the same $200 price, effectively a price increase. To maintain current usage, they would need to upgrade to the Pro 500 plan at $500/month. The user, who heavily relies on Codex for long builds, is seeking input from other Pro users on whether they plan to stay on Pro 200, upgrade to Pro 500, or switch to alternative tools like Claude Max.

This report details a ChatGPT Pro subscriber's experience with a de facto price increase, unlike official announcements that typically frame changes as new features or tiers.
