  "account": "OpenAI has launched a new \"Premium\" Business tier for its ChatGPT service, offering users up to $100 extra per month for increased capacity and higher usage limits. This new offering is aimed at Business-tier customers who feel restricted by the current limitations of the Business subscription. Premium seats are priced at $125 per month or $100 annually, while standard Business seats cost $25 per month or $20 per month for annual billing. The Premium tier provides five times more usage than standard seats and is exempt from the five-hour-per-day limit on advanced features. However, Premium seats will still consume ChatGPT credits, and OpenAI is offering $100 in workspace credits for each qualifying Premium seat to encourage early adoption. Despite the higher price point, OpenAI claims that the new Premium Business seats will be a popular choice, as customers have been requesting increased usage limits for their Business tier subscriptions.",
