OpenAI to give paid ChatGPT users daily usage resets until Astra

The daily reset appears to be a goodwill measure for paying customers during the gap before GPT-6 Astra reaches them. OpenAI announced Astra on September 3, claiming it surpasses earlier models in specific areas like cybersecurity and math, but immediate access is limited to certain organizations. Sam Altman's statement indicates a phased rollout, with the highest-tier Pro plan getting access first, followed by other paid plans and the API within days. This sequencing suggests OpenAI is managing server capacity carefully given the model's touted capabilities. For subscribers, the carry-over feature of resets provides flexibility, though the exact cap on usage was not disclosed in this announcement.
