Just received this email from OpenAI / ChatGPT: “Starting October 30, 2026, your included usage in ChatGPT Work and Codex will decrease from 20 times to 10 times the ChatGPT Plus allowance. Your GPT-6 Pro limit in Chat will decrease from 200 to 100 messages per week. Your price remains unchanged and you’ll keep your current limits through October 29, 2026.” — That is essentially a halving of performance/service and a more-than-doubling of price (to retain essentially the same service). They also kill-off / EOL older models that were working perfectly, thus keeping everyone on their small range of ‘paid traidmills’. This gougeful trend will likely continue, making local AI economically imperative — let us help you get yours. ChatGPT agrees: “The strict math for the $500/25× plan says 2× unit-cost increase, but the experience of being forced from $200 to $500 after a 50% cut can reasonably be described as worse than quadrupling in effective burden.”
