ChatGPT Plus uses are booming

OpenAI recently unveiled plans for new features in ChatGPT, notably the ability for users to tailor their own versions of the chatbot.

Alongside, a new monetization system for ChatGPT was introduced. These innovations resulted in a surge in demand for ChatGPT Plus subscriptions and the AI-powered bot, prompting the company to pause new subscription sales.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, mentioned that the usage of ChatGPT Plus exceeded the operational capabilities of the company, leading to a temporary halt on new subscriptions. Altman has not yet provided details on when the subscriptions might be reopened.
