OpenAI is quietly testing a pay-to-reset quota feature. Here's what we know.
Some ChatGPT Plus users are noticing an unannounced "pay $8 to reset" option when they max out their weekly quota.
A mysterious "pay $8 to reset" button has been appearing for some ChatGPT Plus users who have reached their weekly usage limits. OpenAI is testing a feature that would allow users to immediately and fully reset their weekly quota for a fee. The company introduced banked Codex resets for Plus and Pro users in June, offering a free reset and additional resets through referrals.
The pay-to-reset option could be a cost-effective solution for professional plans, which can cost around $25 to $50 per week. OpenAI is exploring ways to make its products more accessible and functional, with the aim of attracting and retaining users.
