OpenAI is reducing rate limits for its premium $200 per month Pro subscription plan. The company plans to lower compute caps from 20 times the standard Plus plan down to 10 times. OpenAI representative Tibo Sottiaux confirmed the upcoming reduction, which affects power users and enterprise developers relying heavily on advanced reasoning models like o1 and o1-mini. The move reflects surging infrastructure constraints and the soaring compute costs associated with running frontier reasoning models at scale, prompting OpenAI to recalibrate compute allocations across its tiered subscriber base.
