    "summary": "OpenAI launched a $100 ChatGPT Pro tier with five times the Codex usage of Plus, next to the $200 plan, then called Pro 20x. At launch, the limits shown for Pro 5x included a temporary 2x usage boost that was set to end May 31, 2026.",

    "baseline_note": "The ChatGPT plan lineup just before the launch, as reported by VentureBeat. No existing plan changed price; a tier was added. OpenAI's pricing page, in the saved copy cited here, defined the Pro tiers relative to Plus (5x and 20x); the per-model message figures it published were estimates, not fixed message limits. OpenAI's Pro tiers article now lists the $100 and $200 Pro plans as Pro 100 and Pro 200, the names the plan tables on this site use.",
