Access and usage allowances
The ChatGPT Pro plan includes access to GPT-5 and legacy models. Some models have separate usage allowances. Usage must also adhere to our Terms of Use, which prohibits, among other things:
Abusive usage, such as automatically or programmatically extracting data.
Sharing your account credentials or making your account available to anyone else.
Reselling access or using ChatGPT to power third-party services.
OpenAI uses guardrails to help prevent misuse. These guardrails may occasionally result in a temporary usage restriction. ChatGPT will notify you if this happens. If you believe a restriction was applied by mistake, contact OpenAI Support through the chat widget at help.openai.com. If OpenAI does not find policy-violating behavior, access will be restored.
FAQ
How do I upgrade to Pro?
You can upgrade anytime from the Pricing page or from Settings → My Plan. Once you select a Pro plan, the new usage limits and capabilities apply immediately.
What’s the difference between the two Pro tiers?
Both Pro tiers include the same core capabilities. The main difference is usage allowance: Pro $100 unlocks 5x higher usage than Plus, while Pro $200 unlocks 20x usage than Plus.
Is the existing $200 Pro plan changing?
No. The $200 Pro plan remains the highest usage tier. The $100 plan simply adds another option for users who want Pro capabilities with lower usage.
How do I change between the $100 and $200 Pro tiers?
You can switch between the two Pro tiers anytime from Settings → My Plan. Billing adjustments are applied automatically based on your billing cycle.
Can I cancel or change my plan anytime?
Yes. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime from Settings → My Plan. If you upgrade, your new plan takes effect immediately and your billing cycle starts over. If you move to a lower tier, the change takes effect at your next renewal and you keep your current plan until then. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your billing period, and your plan will not renew.
Is there an annual plan available?
Currently, we do not support annual billing or the option to pay for multiple months in advance for ChatGPT Go, Plus, or Pro subscriptions.
How do I request a VAT exemption?

Why is a model temporarily unavailable on ChatGPT Pro?
Some models have separate usage allowances on ChatGPT Pro, and allowances can differ by Pro tier. The $100 Pro tier includes lower usage allowances than the $200 Pro tier.
When you reach a model's allowance, that model may be temporarily unavailable until the allowance resets. ChatGPT displays the reset time when available.
Reaching a model's allowance does not by itself mean that your account was restricted or that your subscription ended. You can use another available model or wait until the displayed reset time. There is no setting to increase or bypass a model's usage allowance.
If the model remains unavailable after the displayed reset time, contact OpenAI Support through the chat widget at help.openai.com.
