Google tightens IP checks as 18-month Google AI Pro accounts flood Xianyu for ~45 yuan
sven_ai · x · 2026-09-07
A blogger speculates that Google's recent tightening of IP verification for Google AI Pro is a response to rampant resale on Xianyu, where 18-month subscriptions are sold for as little as 45 yuan (some even 9 yuan). The reposter says they just bought the 45-yuan plan and found cheaper ones, noting it still works but unsure for how long. This is personal speculation; Google hasn't confirmed the reason.
