Beyond personal accounts, relay/proxy services are also being affected
Not only are quotas being secretly altered, but concurrency is also being severely restricted
This isn’t the first time OpenAI has pulled something like this

- Sharing login credentials with opaque reverse proxies, relay services, or third-party tools
