i’m on the $100 chatgpt pro plan and i’m genuinely confused.

openai says pro users should have access to pro standard and pro extended, but on chatgpt.com i only see the normal intelligence options like instant / medium / high / extra high, and then under pro it just says gpt-5.5. i don’t see anything called pro standard, pro extended, extended reasoning, configure, reasoning effort, nothing.

the reason i care is because i’m giving it hard math prompts. mine thinks for like 20 minutes and then fails. my friends on the $200 plan are using what looks like pro extended on the exact same prompts and theirs can think for like 90 minutes and actually solve them.

so is the $100 pro plan supposed to have pro extended or not? is it hidden somewhere in the ui? is this a rollout issue? or is the $100 plan basically just “pro” without the longer pro extended runs?

Consider a thought experiment where an octopus under the seabed connects to a submarine cable and then eavesdrops on human conversations without any prior knowledge of human language. All it has access to are the utterances of one speaker and the corresponding responses of the other. One may ask: can the octopus ever learn to understand human language, the content of these conversations, and even possess some level of intelligence, purely based on human conversations by passively listening to arbitrarily large amounts of these paired observations?
