OpenAI reopens new user registration for ChatGPT Plus after nearly a month of suspension

After being suspended for nearly a month, OpenAI has reopened new user registrations for the ChatGPTPlus paid subscription service. It is reported that ChatGPT is a new AI chatbot tool launched by OpenAI on November 30, 2022, and ChatGPTPlus is a paid subscription service for ChatGPT launched by OpenAI.

According to foreign media reports, the impact of the suspension of new user registrations for ChatGPTPlus is very obvious. On auction sites such as eBay, the number of so-called ChatGPTPlus accounts has increased.

Almost a month after the suspension, OpenAI began sending emails to people on the ChatGPTPlus waitlist inviting them to join ChatGPTPlus, indicating that the service would be restored in phases.

In the invitation email, the company said: "With ChatGPTPlus, you get our strongest model, GPT-4, and the ability to create and use GPTs, as well as access to other tools such as DALL-E, Browsing, Advanced Data Analysis (Advanced Data Analysis), and more."

In response, ChatGPT officially responded through the

Although ChatGPT officially admitted this fact, so far OpenAI has not completely solved this problem. The company claims that it will fix the issues thoroughly and properly.
