OpenAI appears to have quietly removed the 5× and 20× usage labels from its Pro subscription plans, according to a post on X by user Mr_Salio. Previously, the $100 Pro plan was advertised as offering 5× more usage than the Plus plan, and the $200 Pro plan offered 20× more usage. Now, both plans simply state 'More usage than Plus' in the user interface. The post notes that OpenAI's own help page still describes the tiers as 5× and 20×, making the UI change particularly notable. The author criticizes OpenAI for a lack of transparency, suggesting this is not the first time the company has made such an opaque change. The development raises questions about OpenAI's communication strategy regarding its pricing and usage tiers.

OpenAI appears to have quietly removed the "5×" and "20×" usage labels from its Pro plan pricing pages.
Previously:
- $100 Pro = 5× more usage than Plus
- $200 Pro = 20× more usage than Plus
Now: Both tiers simply state: "More usage than Plus"
Notably, OpenAI's own help page still describes the tiers as offering 5× and 20× more usage, making the UI change especially interesting.
This is not the first time OpenAI has faced criticism over transparency. The company has a history of making similar changes without clear communication.
