OpenAI caps paid ChatGPT accounts per device and payment card
OpenAI is limiting paid ChatGPT accounts per device and payment card. Users reaching the cap cannot start new subscriptions, affected accounts cannot be used on that device, and logging out does not automatically free a spot.
Why it matters: Users managing multiple subscriptions may face blocked purchases or device access restrictions.

Why it matters: The report raises account-security concerns around interactive generated content, while remediation status remains unclear.

ChatGPT merges Chat and Work with shared ChatGPT and Codex quotas
Starting in December, Plus, Pro and Business plans will share a token-based quota across ChatGPT and Codex as Chat and Work merge. More complex models consume more quota; simple instant chats do not count toward it.
Why it matters: Heavy users will need to budget usage across both products and account for differences in model consumption.
