OpenAI has suspended new sign-ups for ChatGPT Pro 20x, its $200-per-month premium tier, citing unprecedented demand for the Astra model. The company has not disclosed how long the suspension will last or provided daily registration numbers that would indicate the scale of demand.
The $100-per-month ChatGPT Pro 5x plan remains available for new subscribers. OpenAI's decision to pause the highest tier suggests rapid adoption of its latest capabilities, though the lack of transparency around subscriber numbers leaves the full picture of demand unclear.
