OpenAI 收紧 ChatGPT 付费订阅：新增支付卡与设备数量限制
OpenAI is steering ChatGPT users toward more paid usage
AI 导读
OpenAI 为 ChatGPT 增加支付卡与设备层面的订阅限制，用户在同一张卡或同一台设备上绑定过多订阅后，将无法再开通新的付费订阅。
摘要与补充说明
限制覆盖 ChatGPT Go、Plus、Pro 100、Pro 200 和 Pro 500，免费账户及 Business、Enterprise、Edu 套餐不计入。达到上限时用户会看到“Device limit reached”，该设备上的相关账户将无法继续使用，且退出登录不会自动释放名额。该政策预计影响在一台设备上轮换多个低价包月账户以获取更多用量的用户，OpenAI 则引导其购买额外 credits 或用量重置，这些选项通常比再买一份订阅更贵。

OpenAI is getting a bit more restrictive with ChatGPT, adding card and device limits as part of its security measures. Users who link too many subscriptions to the same payment card or device won't be able to start new ones. ChatGPT also caps the number of paid accounts per device. When users hit the limit, they'll see "Device limit reached," and the affected account can no longer be used on that device.
The limits apply to ChatGPT Go, Plus, Pro 100, Pro 200, and Pro 500. Free accounts and Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans don't count. Logging out of an account doesn't automatically free up a spot for another, according to OpenAI's support page.
The policy will likely hit users who've been switching between multiple paid accounts on one device to squeeze more usage out of cheap flat-rate subscriptions. OpenAI instead points to buying extra credits or usage resets, options that are generally more expensive than an additional subscription. OpenAI also appears to be slowly prioritizing revenue over growth, as its move to merge Chat and Work suggests.
