Yo OneHack community, Is OpenAI’s finally swinging the banhammer 🔨 on those $1 ChatGPT Teams accounts, and it’s wild. My old account, sub ended Oct 1, got straight-up deactivated no warning, just gone. 😤 **Are you experiencing mass bans too?** When did it get nuked? Any luck appealing or dodging it? Let’s share the tea OpenAI’s out here playing hardball. ☕ ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/6/8/68eebd72459138f11f13e49368c7363d8f166a95.png) ---

I believe that ChatGPT and your IP address were disconnected automatically. ---

Sincerely, this is not new. This even started when this promo came out. I first created an account that managed to complete one month. I also had a second account that was banned after 10 days. It has been a thing since this offer started. ---

I haven’t had any trouble so far. Maybe that’s because I paid with a card from [Privacy.com](http://Privacy.com) (which accepts any billing country and address on its merchant locked cards) instead of going through Paypal? If any of y’all (that happen to be US-based) decide to try the promo again with a new account, use a Privacy card for payment and give OpenAI whatever BS billing country and details work for you. ---

I just made an account yesterday, got the 1 euro team sub on it, and not even 24h passed, it got deactivated :((
