Pro signups paused as Astra demand spikes
Until last week, Pro was just another always-open plan alongside Astra's launch buzz.
OpenAI paused new ChatGPT Pro sign-ups on September 10 as demand for GPT-6 Astra surged; existing Pro accounts are unaffected.
If you were about to upgrade to Pro, that's on hold for now. Current subscribers see no price change and can ignore this entirely.
