Hi @faint minnow. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
You’re right that Sora 2 doesn’t feel “unlimited” anymore, and the knowledge we have confirms that the system has changed to a credit-based model.
From the docs:
- Plus/Pro plans used to be described as having “unlimited access to Sora,” but with the caveat that OpenAI could apply temporary restrictions to prevent abuse and keep things stable for everyone. [Generating videos]
- As of October 30, 2025, OpenAI introduced credits so you can buy extra Sora usage once you hit your included limits, instead of needing to upgrade your plan. [Sora release notes]
- For Sora 2 specifically, the current mapping is:
- 10s video = 10 credits
- 15s video = 20 credits
- 25s video (Pro only) = 30 credits [Credits & Sora 2]
The knowledge sources do not explain why OpenAI moved from “unlimited” messaging to these specific credit amounts or why they were adjusted over time; they only describe how the system works now. I’m sorry, but there’s no information about the internal reasoning or timeline behind those changes in the provided documents.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
The knowledge sources don’t mention any support for 40–50 second videos in Sora 2.
Right now, they only describe:
- 10s and 15s videos for all users on the Sora app and web. [Creating videos; Release notes]
- 25s videos on web for ChatGPT Pro users when using storyboards. [Creating videos; Release notes]
You can make up to 60s total by stitching multiple clips together in the app, but that’s still built from shorter clips, not a single 40–50s generation. [Stitch clips]
