A Reddit user reports their main paid ChatGPT account was banned for 'Recidivism' after an old, barely-used free account was flagged. The appeal was auto-rejected within an hour, GPT-powered support could not help, and recurring payments could not even be cancelled — highlighting OpenAI's account-linking bans and lack of human escalation.
