OpenAI doubles usage limits on Pro plans as competition with Anthropic heats up
OpenAI has doubled usage limits for several paid tiers. The changes affect Work and Codex quotas on the Pro 100 and Pro 500 plans, which both get twice the previous allotment. On Pro 200, OpenAI doubled the lower quota and reversed a planned cut after user pushback. The Plus plan stays the same. New subscriptions already include the updated quotas, and existing customers get them automatically. Doubling a quota doesn't mean twice as many completed tasks, OpenAI says, since consumption varies by model, task type, and settings. The expanded limits for the new "Dots" also stay in place for now, though Dot usage is tracked separately.
OpenAI says it will keep shipping better models and efficiency gains to push usable capacity higher. The company recently released its 6.1 models Terra and Sol , which are much more efficient while matching or beating their predecessors. The move comes as Anthropic prepares for its IPO , with both companies competing hard for B2B dominance in AI.
