OpenAI’s Tibo said new subscriptions to the $200 Pro plan are paused so current users keep strong Astra access—the tier puts the most strain on systems, and this is the smallest step to preserve broad availability. All other plans and the API remain available; existing accounts are unaffected while capacity is added.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓New $200 Pro sign-ups paused to protect Astra capacity/UX.
