On September 11, 2026, OpenAI announced the suspension of new subscriptions for the $200-per-month Pro 20X plan to alleviate infrastructure pressure caused by the Astra model. Existing subscribers remain unaffected, while other plans and API services continue to operate normally. OpenAI stated that this move is a 'minimal adjustment' to ensure smooth access to Astra for current users and is working to expand capacity as quickly as possible.
