TREE NEWS update: OpenAI’s Codex product lead said the $200-a-month Pro subscription will reopen to new users tomorrow, with changes to how usage is calculated. Under the new plan, the API spend tied to the subscription will be half the previous Pro plan’s. Additional features that do not count toward usage will also be added tomorrow, though details were not disclosed.
OpenAI Codex to Reopen $200/Month Pro Subscription to New Users
AI take
The notable shift is not the reopening itself but the halving of API spend tied to the same headline price, which effectively reprices the top tier without lowering the sticker. That matters for heavy agentic-coding users who were previously gated out, and it signals OpenAI is competing on throughput economics rather than access alone. Whether the undisclosed non-usage features offset the reduced compute allowance is the open question.
