Summarize with AI
OpenAI began distributing up to $500 per month in API credits to eligible ChatGPT Pro and Business subscribers to support custom app and agent development.
Subscribers can claim the allocation directly in their ChatGPT billing settings. To qualify, subscriptions must be active for at least one week, and the account email address on ChatGPT must match the account email on the OpenAI developer platform.
What it is
- Tiered monthly credit allocations. ChatGPT Pro subscribers receive $100, $200, or $500 per month depending on their subscription tier, while ChatGPT Business workspaces receive $20 to $100 per seat up to a maximum team ceiling of $500 per month.
- Full API catalog support. Credits apply to any workload accessible through standard OpenAI API keys, including custom agent pipelines, Realtime voice streaming, image generation, web browsing tools, and Code Interpreter.
- Developer tooling compatibility. Because credits bind to standard OpenAI API keys, developers can route usage through third-party coding agents and CLI utilities such as OpenCode or Aider.
- Eligibility requirements. Accounts must have maintained an active subscription for a minimum of seven days and share identical email addresses across consumer ChatGPT and developer platform workspaces.
