Price, quota and model-access changes for AI coding plans, newest first. Each entry cites its sources and when we checked them. Entries marked "reported" lack a primary vendor source. Follow along via the Atom feed or the newsletter.
OpenAI lists Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500. Only Pro 500 includes Ultrafast for GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol (8x the Standard usage rate from included allowance). Pro 200 includes more usage than Pro 100; Pro 500 the most. OpenAI does not publish numeric allowances.
OpenAI's Codex pricing page says GPT-5.5 retires from Codex with ChatGPT sign-in on 2026-10-14 at noon PDT (19:00 UTC). API-key usage and Codex sessions authenticated with an API key are not affected.
New customers buy Cursor through The X Subscription (Grok + Grok Bot + Cursor + X Premium) with one weekly usage pool shared across Grok and Cursor. Premium and above can use third-party models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) but at API list price from the first request, paid from prepaid credit. Cloud Agents and Origin now need Premium ($30). Existing Cursor plans (Pro $20, Pro+ $60, Ultra $200) keep working for now; Cursor says non-migrators will eventually be migrated with notice.
OpenAI says new Pro 200 subscriptions that aren't eligible for grandfathering 'include a lower usage allowance than previously offered', citing increasingly efficient models. Anyone with an active Pro 200 between 2026-09-22 and 10am PT 2026-09-29 keeps the previous allowance through 2026-10-29, then moves to the lower allowance. Price is unchanged. The numeric allowances are not published.
Anthropic said that from 2026-09-14 it permanently raises standard weekly Claude Code limits by 25% for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans. The temporary +50% increase ended 2026-09-13, so relative to what users had in early September the limit is about 17% lower (100 baseline -> 150 temporary -> 125 permanent). Anthropic did not publish fixed token numbers.
OpenAI notified SpaceX that it intends to wind down its contract providing OpenAI models to Cursor, with a proposed shutoff date of 2026-11-12, and will not provide future models to Cursor. OpenAI's help center says users can bring their own OpenAI API key in Cursor's local Chat and Agent, or use the Codex IDE extension. The final termination date was described as pending confirmation between the companies (per search-result summary of OpenAI's help article; not re-verified on the page itself).
Premium request units were replaced by monthly GitHub AI Credits (1 credit = $0.01) consumed by token usage at model API rates. Base credits match plan price (Pro $10, Pro+ $39, Max $100); a variable flex allotment adds more (Pro 500, Pro+ 3,100, Max 10,000 credits per GitHub Docs today). Completions and next edit suggestions stay unlimited on paid plans. Model fallback was removed; code review also consumes GitHub Actions minutes. Copilot Max was introduced as an upgrade for existing subscribers, with new sign-ups to follow.
The Mac Observer reports Anthropic 'previously doubled Claude Code's five-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans in May'. We did not find a primary Anthropic source for the exact date, so treat as reported.
GitHub said it was making changes to Copilot Individual plans 'to protect the experience for existing customers: pausing new sign-ups, tightening usage limits, and...' (the snippet we could read was cut off). GitHub described these as reliability measures ahead of usage-based billing and said it would loosen limits once usage-based billing was in effect.
Windsurf's credit system was replaced by usage allowances that refresh daily and weekly. Plans: Free $0, Pro $20, Teams $40/seat, new Max $200. Extra usage on paid plans is billed at API pricing. Existing Pro/Teams subscribers were grandfathered at their current price.
