OpenAI Pro Faces Controversy Over Image Generation Limits

·2026.08.24 12:57

Key point

Contrary to OpenAI Pro's 'unlimited' image generation advertising, actual usage reveals the existence of limits.

Details

OpenAI's ChatGPT Pro pricing page states that image generation is 'unlimited', but users have encountered rate limits after generating hundreds of images.

Upon contacting support, users were informed that Pro access is also subject to 'usage allowances'. This indicates a discrepancy between the official advertising copy and the actual service policy.

The API-based image generation cost is $0.006 per image, which calculates to approximately 16,000 images for the $100 Pro subscription fee. Therefore, the image generation capacity of the Pro plan appears to be far more limited than the advertised 'unlimited' claim.
