OpenAI 给 ChatGPT 增设设备与支付卡限制，多账号用户被引向更贵的付费方式
OpenAI is steering ChatGPT users toward more paid usage
- 1OpenAI 为 ChatGPT 新增支付卡和设备限制，同一张卡或设备绑定过多订阅后将无法再开新订阅
- 2ChatGPT 限制每台设备的付费账号数量，触顶显示 Device limit reached，退出登录也不释放名额
- 3限制覆盖 ChatGPT Go、Plus、Pro 100、Pro 200、Pro 500，免费及 Business、Enterprise、Edu 套餐不计入
- 4该政策主要影响用一台设备切换多账号的低价套餐用户，OpenAI 指向购买额度等通常更贵的选项
OpenAI 在用设备与支付卡限制堵住多账号共享低价订阅的路，把超额需求引向更贵的按量付费，收入优先于增长。
- 影响：员工在个人设备上共用付费账号的习惯会直接撞上限额；靠多份低价订阅堆用量的成本结构需要重算；Business、Enterprise 等团队套餐不计入限制，正式采购通道不受影响。
- 参考：可考虑盘点员工设备上绑定的 ChatGPT 付费账号数量；团队用量大时值得先算出 Business 套餐、加购 credits 和多份个人订阅三种方式的单价再定采购。
- 依据：设备与支付卡限制条款及不计入套餐清单来自 OpenAI 支持页面，属媒体转述，暂无独立验证；credits 比订阅更贵为该媒体的说法。
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.
