OpenAI caps paid ChatGPT accounts per device and payment card
In brief
- OpenAI limits one paid account per device and payment card.
- Accounts exceeding the cap become unusable on the device.
- The move encourages users to opt for costlier options like buying credits.
OpenAI now restricts the number of paid ChatGPT accounts that can be used per device and payment card. Users who exceed this limit cannot subscribe to new plans, and affected accounts become unusable on that device. Logging out does not automatically free up a slot according to the company. This policy likely targets users juggling multiple low-cost subscriptions to maximize usage, pushing them toward pricier options like buying extra credits.
