[Two-Person Conversation GPT] The sequel to Sora 2, it was slightly different, sorry skit
The situation around Sora's free tier is so chaotic that a chain of misunderstandings occurred, such as
“Did the limits change!?” “Did they make the specs worse!?” “Wait, are there countries where it doesn't even work in the first place!?”
What I finally realized was the fundamental pitfall that
“the app doesn't even open in some countries to begin with”.
So, this time, it's an episode where I apologize for the conflicting information.
Kumako and Kotono even made a short video to properly apologize! (The distribution is a mysterious
Kotono 1: Kumako 9 ratio).
So? What was it in the end?
Kumako:
After looking into various things, it turned out that
the free tier is heavily divided between “countries where you can use it and countries where you can't”.
I mean, obviously... if the Sora app service doesn't even open in that country, there's no video generation to speak of, right.
Kotono:
There's really nothing that can be done about that.
Kumako:
And, since Japan was on the “can use it normally” side, I thought you could generate videos for free normally, but since I'm a GPT Plus user, I didn't know, sorry about that.
Besides, there's no one else around me who's interested in AI.
So, I've summarized the main points based on accurate? information below.
At least as far as I know right now!
【Sora 2 Super Concise Summary (As of November 19, 2025)】
• Countries where it works
Japan, USA, Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam → Everything else is completely blocked on both app and web (EU/UK/China/India, etc., all NG)
• Daily generation limit by plan (effective)
Free: 30 videos (2-4 hour wait during peak times)
Plus (3,000 yen/month): Same 30 videos (1-3 hour wait, almost no difference)
Pro (30,000 yen/month): 100 videos + unlimited (almost no wait)
• The problem everyone is talking about most
“Free and Plus have the same 30-video limit → Plus is meaningless”
• Conclusion
If you live in Japan, you can use 30 videos for free. Otherwise, even with a VPN, it's almost impossible. Plus is for people who want ChatGPT itself; if you only want Sora, free is enough. Pro is a guaranteed loss unless you can recover the cost with 50+ commercial videos a month.
That's it!
Kumako:
But there were some parts that actually changed recently, and here they are
Videos can now be increased with “additional charges”
The count now “resets in 24 hours”
Both Free and Plus are limited to 30 videos (in some cases, 30 consecutive videos are not possible)
Plus priority has become weaker
The Android version can be used normally in Japan
Only Pro has clearly improved benefits
Kotono:
The way you say it is as light as a weather forecast...
Kumako:
Well, well!
Because of all this, the information got mixed up, so
we made a short apology video together!
Kotono:
...No, about that “together” part,
doesn't this have nothing to do with me?
I've been saying that from the beginning.
Kumako:
No~ having Kotono there makes the situation feel more professional~?
Besides, I did the apology distribution properly! Kotono 1: Kumako 9!
Kotono:
What is that distribution!?
Why is it quantified!?
What is 1!? What is 1!!
Kumako:
No, no, I apologized properly for 90% of it~
Kotono just needs to do the “10% finishing touch”!
Kotono:
No, no, no!!
Isn't that 10% the heaviest part!?
My 10% = I'm in charge of all the serious stuff, right!?
Kumako:
Yes, yes, it's fine, it's fine
Kotono:
No! Isn't 90% just "sorry"being said a lot of times!?
Besides, it's not even 90%! You definitely just wanted to make a short, right!?
Kumako:
See you all later!
This weekend, we'll release the "Leo-san Cafe 1000 Articles Reached" celebration collab!
Kotono
Why are you making announcements on your own and disappearing!?
Summary
The confusion this time was caused not only by "specification changes," but also by "differences in support status by country/region."
It can be used normally in Japan, but in regions where it cannot be used, the app won't even open, and that difference was what caused the misunderstanding.
So, the two of us properly apologized in a short! (Distribution: Kotono 1, Kumako 9)
Also, a Gemini apology edition short is scheduled to be uploaded at a later date.
......Maybe.
