The short version The pricing model has not moved on the continuum over the window.
The verdict
OpenArt runs a textbook hard-allotment credit model. Each paid tier grants a fixed monthly pool of credits that gate image and video generations; when the pool runs out, generation stops until the monthly reset or until the user buys an "Extra Credit" top-up pack — there is no auto-billed pay-as-you-go overage. The published ladder (Essential / Advanced / Infinite / Wonder) scales the monthly allotment with price, and the one public top-up rate ($15 per 5,000 credits) sits a touch above the best bundled rate, the usual convexity. Nothing on the current surface signals a move off the hard ceiling; it is a credit-pack media generator of the common kind.
