刚刚,ChatGPT Pro 额度官宣翻倍,但免费重置可能要没了
被用户吐槽了一个月,OpenAI 终于决定不再折腾大家的使用额度了。
就在刚刚,OpenAI 产品负责人 Tibo 突然宣布,将大幅提高 ChatGPT Pro 系列及 Business Premium 用户的使用额度,部分套餐直接翻倍,即日起生效。
更让老用户高兴的是,OpenAI 还决定撤销此前备受争议的 Pro 200 额度下调计划。
不过,消息公布后,有用户欢呼 OpenAI 终于听取了意见,也有人质问,为什么每个月同样花钱订阅的 Plus 用户,又一次被排除在福利名单之外?
而 Tibo 本人,则给此次调整配上了一句颇有自嘲意味的宣言:「我们已经从一家不断重置额度的公司,毕业成为一家提供 Token 的公司。」
OpenAI 突然宣布额度翻倍,但 200 美元用户有点特殊
事情发生在 Tibo 连续更新产品的第 25 天。具
体来说,OpenAI 将从今天起提高 Pro 100、Pro 200、Pro 500 以及 Business Premium 的使用额度,并明确表示已经听取用户反馈,不会再削减 Pro 200 的 Work 和 Codex 使用额度。
与此同时,OpenAI 还会暂时延续 dots 的额外使用额度,并继续将 dot 的使用量与用户默认额度分开计算。消息看起来相当简单,但仔细研究官方帮助文档,就会发现不同套餐实际得到的福利并不完全相同。
目前,ChatGPT Pro 主要提供三个订阅档位。
- Pro 100,月费 100 美元。 Work 和 Codex 的使用额度提高至此前的两倍。
- Pro 200,月费 200 美元。 此前额度较低的用户获得翻倍提升,原本享有较高额度的用户继续保留原额度,所有 Pro 200 用户最终统一至同一水平。
- Pro 500,月费 500 美元。 Work 和 Codex 的使用额度同样翻倍,并且能够使用 GPT-6 Astra 和 GPT-6.1 Sol 的 Ultrafast 模式。
对于 Business Premium 用户,Tibo 也宣布了额度翻倍,但此次公开的 Pro 帮助文档并未给出 Business Premium 的具体额度数值。不过,此次额度翻倍并没有覆盖 ChatGPT 的所有功能。
根据 OpenAI 官方说明,Pro 100 和 Pro 500 用户使用 Codex 编写代码、通过 Work 执行任务的额度翻倍,但在 ChatGPT 聊天界面使用 GPT-6 Pro 的每周消息上限保持不变。
至于 Pro 200,此前额度较低的用户获得提升,原本享有较高额度的用户则保持不变。
至于大家实际能够完成多少任务,还要看选择的模型、上下文长度、推理设置以及工具调用情况。额度翻倍并不保证完成的任务数量也能翻倍。
值得注意的是,此次调整无需用户手动申请,现有订阅会自动获得新额度,也不需要等到下一个账单周期。
对于需要长期使用 Codex 编写代码,或者通过 ChatGPT Work 执行复杂任务的重度用户而言,至少在订阅价格不变的情况下,能够使用的计算资源变得更加充裕。
从准备削减额度,到宣布维持原状,OpenAI 被用户骂回去了?
此次调整中,最值得关注的其实是 Pro 200。
时间回到今年 9 月 29 日,OpenAI 曾通过邮件向部分 Pro 200 用户通知额度调整计划,准备降低他们能够使用的 Work 和 Codex 额度。对于已经习惯原有额度的老用户来说,每个月支付的订阅费没有减少,能够使用的服务却面临缩水,自然很难令人接受。
最终,OpenAI 选择撤回此前的调整决定。
根据最新官方帮助文档,9 月 29 日邮件中宣布的 Pro 200 额度削减计划已经正式取消。此前享有较高额度的老用户可以继续保留原有待遇,而额度较低的用户则获得翻倍提升,与前者保持一致。不过,Tibo 在推文中的表述,也让一部分用户看得一头雾水。
科技博主 Chubby 就在评论区指出,Tibo 一方面宣布所有 Pro 档位额度翻倍,另一方面又表示 Pro 200 的额度不会改变,那么究竟应该如何计算?
从官方文档来看,对于原本享有较高额度的 Pro 200 老用户,此次调整主要是取消原定削减;对于此前额度较低的用户,才是真正的额度翻倍。同一档位用户之间的额度差异也随之消失。
相比简单宣布一次福利,OpenAI 更像是在为此前引发争议的订阅政策纠偏,试图重新赢得高价订阅用户的信任。
而 Tibo 那句「从重置额度的公司,毕业成为提供 Token 的公司」,也因此显得格外耐人寻味。
毕竟,过去一段时间,Tibo 最出名的操作,就是时不时替用户免费重置使用额度。如今 OpenAI 选择直接提高套餐额度,这番「毕业宣言」似乎也在暗示,过去隔三差五免费 Reset 的日子,可能要成为历史了。
Pro 用户狂欢,Plus 用户又坐不住了
当然,并非所有付费用户都能享受此次调整。根据 OpenAI 的官方说明,ChatGPT Plus 的使用额度保持不变。
这个结果很快引发了一部分 Plus 用户的不满。有网友在 Tibo 的评论区发出质问。「Tibo,为什么?Plus 在你们眼里就不算用户吗?」
他抱怨,过去近一个月,OpenAI 接连推出新功能和额度福利,但无论是 dots 的额外使用额度,还是此次 Pro 套餐翻倍,都没有给 Plus 用户带来多少直接变化,甚至连令他不满的五小时使用限制也依然存在。
其实,Plus 用户的不满也不难理解。虽然每月 20 美元的订阅价格明显低于 Pro,但对于很多普通用户而言,Plus 才是他们愿意长期付费的主力套餐。
而随着 ChatGPT 从聊天工具逐渐变成能够编写代码、操作软件、调用工具的智能体,使用额度也开始直接关系到用户究竟能让 AI 完成多少工作。
OpenAI 当然有权根据不同套餐的价格提供差异化服务,也需要通过使用限制控制计算成本。问题在于,订阅规则频繁调整、不同功能采用不同的额度计算方式,已经让部分付费用户越来越难判断,自己花的钱究竟买到了多少服务。
说到底,用户愿意为更强的 AI 付费,也愿意为更多算力买单,但总不能每个月交完订阅费,还要研究半天数学题,才能搞清楚这笔糊涂账吧。

Just now, ChatGPT Pro Z Q81 has doubled, but the free replacement may be gone.
Open AI finally decided to stop using quota.
Just recently, Tibo, the director of Open AI products, announced that the ChatGPT Pro series and Business Premium users would be significantly increased in their use of quota, and that some of the packages would be doubled directly, with effect.
More than ever, Open AI decided to withdraw Pro 200 quota, which had previously been the subject of much controversy.
However, after the news was released, one user hailed Open AI and finally heard, while another hostage asked why the Plus user, who also spends every month, was again excluded from the freebie list.
Tibo himself, on the other hand, added to the adjustment a rather sarcastic statement: "We have graduated from a company that has been repositioning quota to a company that provides Token."
Open AI suddenly announced a doubling of quota, but $200 users are a little special.
Something happened in Tibo on the 25th day of the continuous update of the product. Set
As a matter of fact, Open AI will increase the use of quota for Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500 and Business Premium from today, and will make it clear that it has heard feedback from users and will not reduce Pro 200's Work and Codex's use of quota.
At the same time, Open AI will temporarily use latency to continue dots for additional uses of quota and continue to calculate dot usage separately from the user ' s default quota. The information appears to be quite simple, but a careful study of the official help files reveals that the freebie actually obtained from the different packages is not exactly the same.
Currently, ChatGPT Pro provides three main subscription slots.
- Pro 100, $100 a month. Work and Codex used quota twice as much as before.
- Pro 200, $200 a month. Formerly, users with a lower quota were doubled, users with a higher quota continued to retain the former quota, and all Pro 200 users were eventually unified to the same level.
- Pro 500, $500 a month. Work and Codex use quota as double and can use the GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast models.
For Business Premium users, Tibo also announced a doubling of quota, but this open Pro Help document does not give specific quota values for Business Premium. However, this quota doubling does not cover all the functions of ChatGPT.
According to the Open AI official note, Pro 100 and Pro 500 users doubled the quota of the Code used by Codex to perform their mission through Work, but the maximum weekly message for ChatGPT chat interface with GPT-6 Pro remained unchanged.
As for Pro 200, earlier the lower users of quota had been upgraded, while those who had enjoyed a higher quota had remained the same.
As to the number of tasks that you can actually accomplish, it also depends on the model chosen, the length of context, the reasoning set-up and the situation of tool call. The doubling of quota does not guarantee a doubling of the number of tasks performed.
It is worth noting that this realignment does not require a user-driven application and that existing subscriptions automatically receive new quota or wait until the next billing cycle.
For users who need to use Codex for long periods of time or perform complex tasks through ChatGPT Work, at least the computing resources that can be used become more adequate when the subscription price remains constant.
From preparing to cut quota, to declaring that it's the same, Open AI is being yelled back at?
Of this adjustment, Pro 200 is the most interesting.
Turning back to September 29th of this year, Open AI informed some Pro 200 users by e-mail of quota adjustment plans to reduce their access to Work and Codex quota. For older users who are used to the old quota, the monthly subscription fees are not reduced and the available services are faced with shrinking water, which is naturally difficult to accept.
Eventually, Open AI chose to withdraw its previous adjustment decision.
According to the latest official help file, the Pro 200 quota cut announced in the mail on September 29 has been officially cancelled. Old users who had previously enjoyed a higher quota could continue to retain the same treatment, while the lower quota users were doubled to conform to the former. However, Tibo's presentation in the tweet also allows some users to see the fog.
While announcing a doubling of all Pro slots of quota on the one hand, and indicating that Pro 200's quota on the other hand will not change, how should we calculate it?
According to official documents, this adjustment was mainly to cancel the original cut for older users who had a higher quota; the real quota doubled for those who had earlier been lower quota. The quota difference between users in the same slot also disappeared.
Open AI is more likely than a simple announcement of freebie to correct the previously controversial subscription policy in an attempt to regain the trust of high-value subscribers.
The phrase "from the company that replaced quota to the company that provided Token" was also particularly interesting.
After all, in the past, Tibo's most famous operation is to replace quota with free of charge from time to time for users. Now Open AI has opted for a direct boost to the quota, and this graduation manifesto also seems to suggest that the last three-by-five free Reset days may be going to be history.
Pro user party, Plus user can't sit down again.
Of course, not all paid users benefit from this adjustment. According to the official account of Open AI, the use of ChatGPT Plus remains unchanged at quota.
The result quickly triggered some of the Plus users' discontent. There are netizens asking questions in the Tibo comment section. "Tibo, why? Plus is not a user in your eyes?"
He complained that, over the past month, Open AI had successively introduced new functionality and quotafreebie, but that neither the additional use of quota by dots nor the doubling of the Pro package had brought little direct change to Plus users, even the five-hour use limit that he was dissatisfied with.
Actually, it's not hard to understand the grievances of Plus users. Although the subscription price of $20 per month is significantly lower than Pro, for many ordinary users, Plus is the main food package that they would like to have for a long time.
And as ChatGPT evolved from a chat tool to a AI agent that can write codes, operate software, and call tools, the use of quota began to be directly related to how much the user can get done by AI.
Of course, Open AI has the right to provide differentiated services based on the price of the different packages, and it also needs to calculate costs through the use of restriction controls. The problem is that the frequent adjustment of the subscription rules and the different quota calculations for different functions have made it increasingly difficult for some paid users to determine how much services they have purchased.
In the end, users are willing to pay for a stronger AI paid and for more credit, but they can't pay their subscriptions every month, and they have to study half a day of math to figure out this mess.
