None of ChatGPT's Pro plans has a five-hour limit, OpenAI says

None of the three Pro plans for ChatGPT has a five-hour limit. Tibo (@thsottiaux), who posts about OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex plans, said so on X on the night of Nov. 7 after seeing "confusions" about the caps.

His post spells out how much usage each tier buys compared with Plus:

Ultrafast is OpenAI's fastest mode. The company's pricing page confirms it is exclusive to the $500-a-month Pro tier and says it burns paid credits at six times the standard rate; Fast mode burns them at two. On the five-hour cap, the same page keeps it for Plus and standard Business and, for now, leaves it off the Pro plans. Weekly limits and other usage controls can still apply.

The multiples themselves are less solid. The pricing page doesn't show 10x, 20x or 50x in its text, so for now they rest on one staffer's word on X rather than on an OpenAI document. Other posts from third parties put the Pro 500 at 25 times, with no backing from the company.

It also isn't clear what "1x" is. OpenAI doesn't publish Plus usage in tokens or messages, the same gap it left on Nov. 1, when it announced that ChatGPT and Codex will draw from a single usage balance in December. There is no peso price and no Mexico-specific terms.

For Pro subscribers, the five-hour window is no longer the brake. The weekly limits are, and OpenAI hasn't detailed them by plan.
