OpenAI has announced the availability of premium seats for ChatGPT Business, a new tier designed for teams that need heavier usage. The company states that these seats come with five times the usage allowance of standard seats, addressing a common pain point for power users who hit caps during long work sessions.
A key change is the removal of the five-hour usage limit, which previously restricted continuous interaction. This makes premium seats suitable for workflows that require sustained, uninterrupted access to the model. OpenAI also emphasizes flexibility, letting administrators assign premium seats to specific teammates rather than upgrading the entire team.
The move signals OpenAI's push to differentiate business offerings based on usage intensity. While standard seats remain available, the premium option gives organizations a way to scale access for demanding tasks without overhauling their existing plan structure.
