OpenAI pauses new subscriptions for $200 Codex Pro plan

OpenAI has suspended new subscriptions for its $200 monthly Codex Pro plan to ensure service stability and maintain a high-quality experience for existing users. Product lead Tibo stated that the plan places significant pressure on server systems, and the pause is a minimal intervention to protect access for current users. Other subscription tiers and API services remain unaffected, and the technical team is working to expand capacity to restore the service.
