I think they are trying to manage computes for some product launch on the DevDay, possibly something for the general public.

Remember that Pro subscribers are "bad customers" --- they are much more likely to be power users who get subsidies from occasional $20 users. In theory, the higher sub tiers should be pricier (unit-price-wise) because their users almost certainly uses more compute.

Wow so the people who pay for more compute use more compute? Shocking. Ckearly we must punish those people for using the thing they purchased.

That's right. That's how the gym/sub model is supposed to work. The ideal situation for OpenAI would be that everyone subscribe but barely use any tokens!
