OpenAI executive Tibo declared the relaunch of the service and a modification to the usage calculation approach. The reasons cited for these changes include the lack of cooling restrictions, anticipated efficiency improvements through model enhancements in the future, and reductions in API pricing. Nevertheless, this decision has sparked intense dissatisfaction among developers. Developers contend that the company is leveraging future commitments to diminish the current usable quotas, with numerous developers meticulously refuting the logical inconsistencies in Tibo's statements. Some have highlighted that the equivalent usage of the $200 Pro plan has been substantially decreased, even going so far as to insist that OpenAI should align the overall value per dollar with that of its competitor, Claude Opus 5.5—a proposal that Tibo conceded to. The core of the dispute stems from divergent views on rights and benefits following reductions in computational power prices. OpenAI aims to transition major clients from a monthly subscription model to a pay-per-use model, effectively reshaping its customer base through price discrimination. The company is no longer inclined to allow users to access high-cost computational resources from the GPT-6 era at bargain prices, while also making space for profit margins on new features like integrated AI workflows. At present, developer loyalty is waning. If OpenAI fails to showcase sufficiently competitive new capabilities at the upcoming Developer Day, these developers, whose rights have been significantly curtailed, may migrate en masse to rival platforms.
