Billing Bug: ChatGPT Business Seats Stuck at 3, Unable to Reduce to 2
OpenAI Developer Community
May 18, 2026
Welcome to the dev Community! @Adrian_Mirage
From what you described, this sounds less like a browser/UI problem and more like how ChatGPT Business handles seat baselines.
According to the Help Doc:
- ChatGPT Business requires a minimum of 2 seats
- Seat reductions usually don’t affect billing immediately and instead apply at the next renewal cycle
- Even if you only have 1 active user now, the billing system may still retain the previous “baseline” seat count until renewal
That said, reducing from 3-2 seats should normally still be possible. Could you please create a support ticket at help.openai.com and share the case ID here so that I can take a look at it internally and help resolve this issue asap.
