OpenAI caps paid ChatGPT accounts per payment card and device
Overview
OpenAI is adding limits on how many paid ChatGPT subscriptions can be linked to one payment card or device, according to a report by The Decoder.
Users who reach the limit cannot start new paid subscriptions, and on a capped device the account stops working and shows "Device limit reached."
The limits cover ChatGPT Go, Plus, Pro 100, Pro 200, and Pro 500. Free accounts and Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans are excluded. OpenAI's support page says that logging out of an account does not automatically free up a spot for another account.
