Concern Regarding Sora Access After Upgrading to ChatGPT Plus

Hello OpenAI Team and Community,

I hope you’re doing well.

I recently upgraded to the ChatGPT Plus plan ($20/month), primarily because I was excited to try out the Sora video generation feature. However, after subscribing and confirming that my payment was processed successfully, I was unable to access Sora at all.

A few days later, I was finally able to log in, only to be met with this message when attempting to generate a video:

Video generation is temporarily disabled for new accounts.”

This restriction was never mentioned during the upgrade process, nor was I informed of any such limitation before subscribing. I feel misled and disappointed by the lack of transparency.

Could you please clarify the following:

  • When will video generation via Sora be available for new accounts?
  • Will I be able to access this feature soon?

I would appreciate any information or updates you can provide. Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

I’ve had the exact same issue. Completely mislead into thinking I’d have access to Sora when I upgraded and now I can’t use it at all.

Im also having a nightmare trying to get chatgpt to create a video. I ld rather bot pay a subscription if its going to misslead me by saying i can use sora via chatgpt which i have done previously. Its so annoying asking multiple times and all i get is an image.
