## Summary

The Pro 200 plan also saw its lower quota doubled after user feedback delayed a planned cut. Existing customers receive the updates automatically, while new subscriptions include the revised limits from the start.

The changes come as OpenAI emphasizes efficiency gains with its 6.1 models, Terra and Sol, which deliver performance comparable to earlier versions while using fewer resources. OpenAI notes that doubled quotas do not translate to double the number of completed tasks, as consumption depends on model, task type, and settings. The move follows heightened competition with Anthropic, which is preparing for an IPO and both companies are vying for B2B leadership in AI.

## Key points

- Pro 100 and Pro 500 plans get doubled Work and Codex quotas, effective immediately
- Pro 200 plan’s lower quota doubled after user pushback reversed a planned reduction
- OpenAI’s Terra and Sol 6.1 models improve efficiency without sacrificing performance

## Why it matters

Higher quotas reduce friction for businesses relying on OpenAI’s API, but efficiency gains in newer models may matter more for cost control.
