OpenAI says it won't reduce usage limits for the $100, $200, and $500 ChatGPT Pro plans, as well as Business Premium, and it also promised to keep Dots usage independent.

In a post on X, Tibo, who is the face of ChatGPT and Codex on X, confirmed that the changes take effect immediately and primarily affect ChatGPT Work and Codex, which share usage allowances under eligible subscriptions.

However, OpenAI has now reversed that decision following customer feedback.
