OpenAI Bans ChatGPT Accounts in Bulk, Including $200 Pro Subscribers

Cointime update: OpenAI has carried out a large-scale wave of ChatGPT account bans, with users on Reddit and developer forums reporting sudden suspensions without prior email notice, including subscribers on the $200-per-month Pro plan. Accounts were flagged by automated backend systems rather than manual review, hitting low-cost regional subscriptions, bulk-registered accounts, shared payment cards or devices, proxy access, API quota resale and suspected model distillation.
