OpenAI doubles usage limits on Pro plans as competition with Anthropic heats up

OpenAI has doubled usage limits for several paid tiers, affecting Work and Codex quotas on the Pro 100 and Pro 500 plans, which both get twice the previous allotment. On Pro 200, OpenAI doubled the lower quota and reversed a planned cut after user pushback, while the Plus plan stays the same. OpenAI says doubling a quota doesn't mean twice as many completed tasks, since consumption varies by model, task type, and settings.
