Subscription of ChatGPT Plus

[vernal verge]

I purchased ChatGPT Plus through the Apple Store for my account xxx_1. However, I encountered an error message stating, "This subscription is associated with another OpenAI account. Please login with that account to access it, or visit help.openai.com for support."
The "another" OpenAI account referred to here is my another account, xxx_2. I am confused about why this happened. Is it not possible to use one Apple ID to pay for more than one OpenAI account? Moreover, there was no prior notification about this limitation. I would appreciate some assistance with resolving this issue.

No its not possible to have more than one account

It is against the policy

To be precise, one account is my own and the other is my friend's.

[twilit dove]

You said earlier that it was your alt account

[vernal verge]

I don't think that's the crux of the matter.

[twilit dove]

You are not getting banned for having two accounts you just cant use both

I dont see a connection between xxx_2 and your friends account

The problem is I cannot subscribe GPT4 through app store for my account now 😭

[twilit dove]

How do you know xxx_2 is your friends account. They should not be connected if it is your friends. It could be anyones account.

[twilit dove]

Tell your friend to pay for his own account.

sorry, I didn't make it clear at first. I first subscribed GPT4 for my friend on my phone.
Subsequently, I logged into my openai account to subscribe GPT4, but the new subscription was automatically recharged to my friend's account.

Remove your friend

I've done what I could, but still failed 🙃

[twilit dove]

[twilit dove]
