API Credits for ChatGPT Pro and Business

ChatGPT Pro and Business subscribers can now claim free monthly OpenAI API credits, up to $500, to build their own apps and agents.

Pro gets credits equal to its plan price: $100, $200, or $500 a month. Business gets $20 per Standard seat and $100 per Premium seat, pooled and capped at $500 per workspace
Credits expire at the end of each billing cycle and don't roll over. The first grant is prorated
Credits cover paid API usage like the Responses, Agents, Images, and Realtime APIs plus built-in tools such as web search. They can't be used for Codex through API keys and don't raise ChatGPT usage limits
Plus, Go, Free, and Enterprise plans are not eligible. The subscription must be paid, at least seven days old, and owned by the same email as the API account
Claim it from ChatGPT billing settings or the Business admin console by linking an API organization you own

Trying out the OpenAI API for a small internal tool or agent without opening a separate paid budget.

You already pay for ChatGPT Pro or Business and have wanted to build something on the API but couldn't justify the extra spend.
