OpenAI Limits Number of Paid ChatGPT Accounts per Device and Card
Original headline: OpenAI is steering ChatGPT users toward more paid usage
OpenAI announced it is capping the number of paid ChatGPT accounts per device and payment card. Users who exceed the limit cannot start new subscriptions, and logging out does not automatically free up a spot. The policy targets users who juggle multiple low‑cost subscriptions, nudging them toward pricier options such as buying extra credits.
The restriction pushes multi‑subscription users toward higher‑priced plans, likely boosting OpenAI’s revenue.
