Just two days ago, I studied OpenAI's giving me six months Pro 20x, and yesterday I wrote a memoir.

As I said in my last article:

The official gave you a ticket, you took it to the theater, and you went to the door, and you couldn't get in.

After the article came out, a lot of small partners gave me ideas.

But by the way, everyone thought it too simple.

It won't be all over here. On the one hand, it is not necessary and on the other hand, it is not appropriate to write any operational guidelines.

Basically, why can't those roads work.

First, Google Play and Apple Gift Card.

This way I've tried, it can only go web-end subscription, so just pass.

This receipt is sent directly to the mailbox by OpenAI. Get in from the mail point. The URL will carry it.promoCodeI don't know. This point was confusing at the outset, because I had previously subscribed to GPT, and I had hardly seen it.

Enter through the URL point and it will pop up the checkout interface.

And then you get to Pro, and it pops out the interface for the tied bank card.

It is true that no one would have believed that such an interface would have broken people's minds if it had not been for personal experience.

MasterCard, VISA, 3DS, in this interface, are simply unstoppable.

And don't recommend me to go to the channel. I basically went around, and many people looked at the order interface and said they couldn't get it. It's not the right direction. It's not the right direction.

The game's over here. There's basically nothing left to play with.

Straight end game, shut down.

But I still want to tell a story.

It's not like an ordinary failure. It's more like you're looking at the abyss, and it's looking at your -suspecting story.

Because it's not as simple as getting a credit card.

I pulled the interface

As an archaic programmer, in the AI era, although already AI Native, I retained the curiosity of the archaic programmer.

Even if I can't get my rights, I need to know what the problem is.

So I ordered OpenAI's Subscribe button, turned F12 on, developer mode, start!

OpenAI's checkout went to Stripe, so there were lots of thieves in the request. Once the subscribe, checkout session returns, it almost opens up "Who I am, where I come from, how much I pay."

The key fields I first caught were:

currency: sgd
geocoding. country_code: SG
context. timezone: Asia/Shanghai
context. locale: zh-CN
is_business_ip2: true
approval_method: manual
submission_attempt. state: requires_approval
failure_reason: confirm_error

I was online in Singapore.

But several fields in the interface are on the table like exhibits:

• The system time zone is Shanghai.
• Browser language is Chinese
• Ip, one more.is_business_ip2: trueTags

is_business_ip2This field has no public document. Literally, "business IP" usually points to machine room / data centre IP in the field of wind control, relative to residential IP. In my request, it returns.true- It's from the interface, not from me. OpenAI's inside concretely how it works, I can't see.

Put those clues together, and the picture that the wind sees is roughly this:

A user with a Chinese browser environment, Shanghai Time Zone, machine room IP tag, entered checkout at SG area price.

Looking at each item alone does not mean that an order should be hung.

But they're in the same checkout at the same time, and it's not a coincidence.

approval_method: manualAddrequires_approvalAt least one thing is clear: the order was not automatic and entered into a state requiring approval.

confirm_errorIt's a separate field, and it can't just prove that it's been artificially rejected. It told me only one thing - to confirm that the Subscription failed.

Like the first corpse in a suspicious story. The killer is not sure yet, but he knows someone's dead.

First failure, unexpectedly.

** This time I'm judging the probability is IP environmental pollution.**

I'll turn the signal on

I've done a pretty good thing: try to match the region's signals to the United States. I try to be consistent with IP, billing address, payment modality, system time zone.

Theoretically, is this the right time?

I'll reset Subscribe, grab another interface:

currence: usd
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
: zh-CN
is business ip2: true
I'm sorry.
Original error message: " In error, please try again. " Chinese

** The signal is not right.**

I thought I changed the time zone.Asia/Shanghai.

And then I said -- in the browser, JavaScript, for the time zone,Intl. DateTimeFormat(). resolvedOptions(). timeZoneAnd this is a reading of the configuration of the bottom of the ICT library, which is not the same time zone that I changed in the MacOS system settings. I only danced with a gun and changed things. I couldn't see them.

I thought the IP signal was clean, but...is_business_ip2Still?trueI don't know. I've changed the so-called "U. S. HOUSE" agent, which is still not recognized as an I. P. D. in OpenAI. I don't know how, but it's there.

navigator. language / navigator. languagesI haven't moved. The browser's still on.zh-CNI'm telling the truth.

This field itself is not a mystery -- the browser language can be changed.Accept-LanguageIt can change. The problem is, it's just the most surface bean. When it appeared along with time zones, IP tags, account history, Support worksheets, it became one of the beans from a common language.

In the last line:

"original error message":

OpenAI finally ** to my Chinese **.

It's like creating a comedy effect.

The most direct suspect is in the request.Accept-Language: zh-CN- The browser added it. It is common for the backend to return to the page with this header selected language.

That is:** I thought I had the stage set up as an American scene, but the Chinese footprint was still on the page.**

OpenAI's internal log, I can't see. But what I can see is that what they returned to me was indeed a Chinese error.

It's not like you think you're vibe better, actually you're just vibe shit.

The account number is the real crime scene

The two interfaces, JSON, were carefully compared, and several fields were critical:

• customer. id: Stripe's client assigned to my mailbox ID
• userId: OpenAI, the user who assigned my account, ID

** I can't change these two.**

They are not the same as IP, language, time zone as the surface signal in a request - the surface signal can be refilled every request. These two IDs are file numbers, and as long as I use the same mailbox, same account number, they tie me to death.

Any mature payment wind control system, when awarding a new order, will be evaluated with the history of the Custoder id -- it's not black magic, it's standard practice in the industry.

As for OpenAI and Stripe's internal history, I can't see it. But as long as it's used, ** the first failed contamination will be brought in for the second time.**

Not to mention I've had OpenAI Support before. And OpenAI officially responded.

The manual passenger service has made it clear that if the account number is based on or primarily visited an unsupported area, such an interest may not be convertible.

I can't be 100% sure that this service record will not be synchronized into a wind-controlled decision.

But in the mystery story, it is at least a clue that cannot be ignored.

I say "theoretically" -- because I'm the opposite of the result. Two almost identical failure patterns.confirm_errorThe same.requires_approvalIn the same Chinese, I tend to speculate:

** The problem is not only in this checkout, but also in my account itself that has entered some deeper audit logic.**

Or maybe a little more directly: The account number on OpenAI has been put on some kind of "area-inconsistent" internal marker, and every attempt to checkout returns is the result of a template that comes out of this tag.

I'm on the IP, time zone, method of payment, like scratching footprints at the crime scene.

But the real file may have been locked in another cabinet.

GitHub, there's still people on the hardcore

Half the research, I got a project:DanOps-1/Gpt-Agreement-Payment.

This guy's doing a hard job: take the whole thing.Stripe Checkout → PayPal billing agreement → ChatGPT manual-approval → Codex OAuth + PKCEThe link was removed from the grab bag and was written as a running client.

It contains an anti-automated validation, a browser fingerprint environment, a self-healing protection cycle, an automated implementation link - essentially industrial.

It's really a confrontation with OpenAI Winds.

The author wrote a line of data in README:

Bulk survival rate approximately 2%

That's scary.

Read what it means - ** with the full set of industrial-level tool chains above, the new clean account, the probability of being alive the next day is about 1/50**.

This is the project author's own experience figure, not the official OpenAI data. By reference, however, it is sufficient to show how unstable the road is.

And my number is:

1. We've identified regional problems with OpenAI Support.
2. Twice.confirm_errorLost history.
3. There's been a signal jump across the border during checkout.
4. Browser environment is long Chinese + Shanghai time zone

Four buffs folded, it doesn't look like this game can easily pass through.

It looks like OpenAI gave you a benefit, and to me it's more like telling you:

** It's over, but you just can't eat.**

I've lost my fearless and direct courage.

It's like being caught up in a logic of self-doubt.

And there's no other boss in this way. I have never seen a body in my country so far that this link can be made steady.

And what makes me gomo is that people abroad get the benefit, and maybe they really get it.

When the interface was finished, I calmed down.

It's not that I don't have the skills, it's that this thing hasn't left me an entrance from the protocol level.

is_business_ip2, Intl. timeZone, navigator. language, Accept-Language, customer. idHistory, Support worksheets, six flashlights coming from six different directions.

Each beam alone cannot be decided.

But they fold together, and the outline is clear.

The GitHub project, the essence of which was to take the first four torches one by one. And? New number two.

Technology can solve the shallowest signals; it cannot solve the Platform ' s regional policy or account history and follow-up audits.

This is the pictogram of the last article -** technology is globalized and services are not **.

And back to the picture: you look at the abyss, and the abyss looks at you.

Only the abyss is clearer than you can see.

It sees not an open source author of "I Want to Benefit."

It sees a set of features: zh-CN browsers, Asia/Shanghai time zone, suspicious network tags, trans-regional jumps, and area limits already identified in the Support.

These features are co-mingled, clearer than my own mirror.

OpenAI sent me six months Pro 20x. I stood at their door and tried every door.

Finish it, turn it off and sleep.

A little statement

This article is a true record of my personal interface,** which does not constitute any account operation, payment modality or compliance recommendation.**

The field names that appear in the text, and the JSON structure, are from the visible data that I see in my own browser developer tool. I did not offer any steps to bypass the wind, nor did I suggest that readers imitate similar operations.

I'm just going to read the page back to me and write down the clues I can see.

It's all about OpenAI's internal wind control and whether Support's payroll records influence subsequent judgment. I don't have access to it.

For mainland Chinese users, OpenAI ' s service area policy is clear and open. This paper does not encourage or advise anyone to receive benefits through false areas, unusual means of payment, mass registration or other circumvention policies. This is based on the OpenAI official support list and official policy.

Thank you.
