OpenAI Pauses New Pro Sign-Ups Because GPT-6 Astra Is Breaking the Internet
OpenAI has done something fairly extraordinary this week: it has stopped accepting new Pro subscribers. Not because people don't want to sign up, but because too many people already have, and the systems can't keep pace.
Key Takeaways
- OpenAI has paused new Pro subscriptions at 200 dollars per month due to infrastructure strain from GPT-6 Astra demand
- Existing Pro subscribers are unaffected and retain full access
- OpenAI is also running a small advertising pilot inside ChatGPT
- No specific timeline has been given for reopening Pro sign-ups
