OpenAI has introduced a benefit for eligible ChatGPT subscriptions that mirrors a similar announcement made by Anthropic earlier this month. Users holding $100, $200, or $500 monthly plans can now convert the equivalent value of their subscription into API credits. These credits apply directly to one of the user’s API organisations and expire at the same rate as the underlying subscription. The policy applies to existing plans without requiring a new contract or a change to the monthly payment amount.
This move reduces the cost of running production applications for developers who already pay for access to the models. It removes the need to purchase separate API access for users who have committed to a high-tier ChatGPT plan. The benefit is available immediately for current subscribers on the specified tiers.
* Credits expire when the monthly subscription ends
* Applies to $100, $200, and $500 plans only
* Credits attach to a specific API organisation
