As openAI. Here is how I would have communicated. “We are about to announce a new model, near Astra performance at 1/10th the price and 3 times faster. Because of this, usage across the board will increase dramatically for all. We’ll use this as an opportunity to bring the Pro 200 at 10x instead of 20x (with current users grand fathered for 3 months). We need to do this for 3 reasons - Be more fair with Plus 20 (x1) and Pro 100 (x5) users - Make it more economically sustainable for us - Allow us to introduce a Pro 500 (x25) plan for the many users who want more today Again, we want, with Sol 6.1 that the Pro 200 (x10) of tomorrow feels way more usage than the Pro 200 (x20) of today.”
