Project Overview
This GitHub repository is a ChatGPT Pro purchase and usage guide for users in China. It is not software that needs to be installed. It explains how to choose between the $100, $200, and $500 Pro plans, as well as the available subscription routes through the official website, app stores, and third-party assisted processing.
The repository also covers Plus upgrades, Pro renewals, Codex usage assessment, GPT-6 Astra-related access points, order inquiries, subscription verification, and refund troubleshooting. In this guide, Pro 5x generally refers to the $100 plan, while Pro 20x generally refers to the $200 plan. These former names are mainly provided to help readers understand historical materials. Current benefits should be based on official information and what is displayed in the user's own account.
AIXiamo is an independent third-party service and has no affiliation, agency relationship, or authorization from OpenAI. Prices in RMB, inventory, delivery times, and after-sales terms may change. Always review the current product description before paying.
How to Choose Among the Three Pro Plans
Pro $100 Plan, Also Known as 5x
This plan suits individual users whose Plus usage frequently reaches its limits and who need frequent Codex access, long contexts, multi-file editing, or deep research. The repository recommends first confirming that the limits are continuously affecting your work, then validating your actual needs with a lower Pro plan.
Pro $200 Plan, Also Known as 20x
This plan is better suited to all-day individual use, parallel work across multiple repositories, and intensive long-running tasks. Do not interpret “20x” as meaning that the model is necessarily more intelligent; it is primarily a historical usage label. Opening a new $200 plan also does not automatically grant the original transitional 20x quota associated with historical subscriptions.
According to the official information cited by the repository, original Pro $200 accounts that meet specific historical eligibility-window requirements may use the original transitional 20x included quota through October 29, 2026, while the subscription remains active. Renewing early will not extend this deadline. Eligibility must be checked against the official rules and the actual account display.
Pro $500 Plan
This plan suits individual users who need GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast in Codex or ChatGPT Work and who perform ongoing programming or complex research. The official monthly fee recorded by the repository is $500. The product price verified by AIXiamo on October 3, 2026 was 3350 yuan, but you should still check the Pro 500 product page when purchasing.
Quick Selection Guide
- Everyday chat, study, writing, or occasional programming: First determine whether Plus is sufficient.
- Plus frequently reaches its limits: Start by comparing the Pro $100 plan.
- All-day work across multiple projects: Evaluate the usage value of the Pro $200 plan.
- Astra Ultrafast is specifically required: Compare the eligibility, usage, and budget for the Pro $500 plan.
- Programs, servers, or CI need to call models: Use the separate API Platform. Do not treat a Pro membership as API credit.
Preparation Before Subscribing
This project requires no installation. The actual “setup” involves preparing your own account, confirming its current subscription status, and selecting an appropriate payment channel.
- Sign in to the ChatGPT account that will receive the Pro subscription.
- Go to
Settings → My Planand record the current plan, expiration date, and visible upgrade options. - If you already have Plus or Pro, check whether automatic renewal remains enabled for the original payment channel.
- Choose the $100, $200, or $500 plan based on actual usage. Do not place an order solely based on promotional names such as “5x” or “20x.”
- Confirm the payment amount, subscription period, start time, treatment of remaining benefits, refund terms, and delivery method.
- Save the order number, payment record, and screenshots of the official plan page for future inquiries.
Security requirement: Never submit your ChatGPT password, SMS verification code, two-factor authentication code, or account recovery code to a third party. The AIXiamo process described by the repository requires only the necessary information specified on the product page and in the order instructions, not these sensitive credentials.
Method 1: Subscribe Through the Official ChatGPT Website
- Sign in to your own ChatGPT account.
- Open
Settings → My Planor the pricing and upgrade page currently shown for your account. - Check whether the page offers the $100, $200, or $500 plan, along with the corresponding period and benefits.
- Complete payment using a payment method supported by the checkout page and with accurate, matching information.
- Return to the official plan page and confirm the plan name, expiration date, and billing status.
This route suits users with a stable international payment method who want to manage renewals, cancellations, and billing themselves.
Method 2: Use the App Store or Google Play
If the account's region and app store page show purchasable Pro plans, you can purchase through the official ChatGPT app. The available plans are determined by what is actually displayed in the app.
Subscriptions, renewals, cancellations, and refunds are generally managed by the app store used for the original purchase. Before switching to another purchase channel, check whether the original store subscription will continue charging automatically to avoid duplicate subscriptions.
Method 3: Use Alipay to Subscribe to Your Own Account
Without an international bank card, you can follow the AIXiamo assisted-processing procedure described by the repository. The service supports Alipay, order inquiries, and Chinese-language after-sales support. Confirm WeChat Pay availability with customer service before paying.
- Choose the Pro $100, $200, or $500 plan based on your workload.
- Open the AIXiamo Pro service page and check the current price, inventory, account requirements, processing time, and refund rules.
- Create an order and select Alipay at checkout. If you need WeChat Pay, contact manual customer service first.
- After payment, save the order number and use the order inquiry page to check statuses such as paid, processing, or completed.
- Wait for manual processing. The repository states that successful processing usually takes about 2 to 5 minutes, but it may take longer during peak periods or if the account triggers risk controls.
- After processing is complete, sign in to your own ChatGPT account and verify the plan and expiration date on the official plan page.
The product prices recorded by the repository on September 28, 2026 were 729 yuan for the $100 plan and 1298 yuan for the $200 plan. The $500 plan was recorded at 3350 yuan on October 3, 2026. These are third-party product prices on specific dates and should not be treated as fixed long-term quotes.
Basic Usage Examples
Example 1: A Plus User Frequently Encounters Codex Limits
First go to Codex Settings → Usage and confirm which quota was reached and when it will reset. If the limit is only reached occasionally, wait for the reset or check whether the account supports additional credits. If the limit repeatedly interrupts multi-file editing, testing, and code reviews every day, compare the Pro $100 plan.
Example 2: Processing Multiple Code Repositories All Day
If the Pro $100 plan continues to affect delivery and your tasks involve parallel work across multiple repositories, long contexts, and intensive long-running tasks, evaluate the $200 plan. Compare actual usage with your budget rather than assuming that the $200 plan provides a more intelligent model.
Example 3: Astra Ultrafast Is Required
If your work specifically depends on GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast in Codex or ChatGPT Work, focus on verifying the $500 plan. The model access points, eligibility, and metering methods for regular Chat, Work, Codex, and API are different. Having a Pro subscription does not by itself imply that every access point is available.
Example 4: A Server Needs to Call a Model
If an application, server, or CI system uses an API key, enable billing separately on the API Platform. ChatGPT Pro does not include API credit. Membership usage and API requests are separate products with separate billing.
How to Upgrade from Plus to Pro
According to the AIXiamo service rules described by the repository, Plus can be upgraded to Pro $100, Pro $200, or Pro $500. Pro $100 can also be upgraded to Pro $200 or Pro $500. If the current plan has not expired, ask about a price-difference arrangement first. Accounts without Plus can also directly purchase Pro $100 or Pro $200.
Before upgrading, confirm the following:
- When the new plan begins billing.
- Whether the remaining time on the current Plus or Pro plan is retained, converted, or forfeited.
- Whether automatic renewal for the original payment channel must be disabled manually.
- Whether the order is a new subscription, renewal, or cross-tier upgrade.
- Which plan name and expiration date should appear after completion.
Upgrading early does not mean that remaining benefits will automatically be accumulated or credited. Ask about any treatment not clearly stated in the product description before paying, and keep the response.
How to Verify the Subscription After Payment
- Confirm that you are signed in to the same ChatGPT account specified when placing the order.
- Go to
Settings → My Plan. - Check that the plan matches the purchased $100, $200, or $500 tier.
- Check the expiration date, renewal status, and model access points shown in the account.
- If using Codex, also go to
Codex Settings → Usageto check the usage display. - Save the order number and the official plan page record.
Do not rely only on third-party chat screenshots or promotional posters to determine whether the subscription has arrived. The final verification should be based on the plan status in your own official ChatGPT account.
What to Do If Payment Succeeds but the Plan Does Not Change
Check the original order first. Do not pay again.
- Confirm that payment succeeded and whether the order is still being processed manually.
- Check that the signed-in account matches the account specified in the order.
- Refresh the page and, if necessary, sign out and sign in again.
- Check the official plan page again instead of looking only at the chat model list.
- Save the order number, payment record, and complete error message, then contact after-sales support for verification.
According to the repository's published rules, if the recharge fails and order verification confirms that the agreed delivery was not completed, AIXiamo will initiate a full refund. The actual arrival time depends on the original payment channel, bank, or other settlement method.
Advanced Usage and Pitfall Avoidance
Distinguish Between Model Access Points
GPT-6 Pro is a model option in Chat powered by GPT-6 Astra, but available models, eligibility, and billing for regular Chat, ChatGPT Work, Codex, and API must be checked separately. The repository notes that Codex CLI requires at least version 0.153.0 when using Astra. API model identifiers must be checked against the applicable technical guide and official documentation.
Do Not Confuse Sol, Luna, and Pro Plans
The repository states that GPT-6 Sol and Luna are being rolled out in batches to Plus, Pro, and other plans in ChatGPT Work and Codex. They currently cannot be selected directly in regular Chat conversations. The API uses separate model IDs and billing. Pro 5x or 20x should not be interpreted as exclusive purchase requirements for Sol or Luna.
Historical 20x Eligibility Is Separate from a Current Purchase
New, existing, and expired accounts can purchase the $200 plan under the current product terms, but this does not mean they receive the historical original 20x transitional benefits. Historical treatment must be assessed separately according to the official eligibility window, subscription status, and deadline.
Do Not Buy Shared Accounts Instead of Your Own Subscription
Before purchasing, confirm that the service will be activated on your own account rather than a shared, rented, or preconfigured account. Personal Pro is not a multi-user shared seat. Team purchases should separately confirm the number of users, account ownership, delivery, and invoicing requirements.
Be Careful with So-Called Official Annual Plans
The official information cited by the repository states that Go, Plus, and Pro currently do not support annual billing or prepaid multi-month subscriptions. When you encounter “official annual Pro” advertising, confirm whether it is an official subscription, a third-party recurring service, or another product.

Conclusion
The key to getting ChatGPT Pro in China is not blindly pursuing the highest tier, but first checking your own account, actual usage, and payment conditions. For everyday needs, first determine whether Plus is sufficient. When limits consistently affect your work, compare the Pro $100 or $200 plans. Evaluate the $500 plan only when capabilities such as Astra Ultrafast are specifically required.
Whether you subscribe through an official channel or a third party, confirm the plan, period, renewal, and refund rules before paying, save the order afterward, and complete final verification in Settings → My Plan.
