TL;DR
- ChatGPT Plus users on the $20 monthly plan are seeing a "pay $8 to reset" button after exhausting their weekly quotas.
- This feature was not formally announced by OpenAI.
- A reset renews a user's weekly quota and eliminates the waiting period for automatic renewal.
- OpenAI spokesperson stated the company is exploring ways to offer additional usage for users who hit quotas.
