Business Workspace Deactivated — 48-Month Promo Plan, Payment Current, No Warning — Reactivation Forces New Purchase
OpenAI Developer Community
June 25, 2026
Hi OpenAI Support team,
My ChatGPT Business workspace was suddenly deactivated around June 25-24, 2026, with no email notification and no reason given.
My account details:
- Plan: ChatGPT Business, 2 seats, 48-month promotional plan
- Region: Australia
- Last auto-renewal: June 17, 2026 — payment was SUCCESSFUL
- No seat changes, no failed payments, no usage policy violations
When I try to reactivate the workspace:
- The reactivation button takes me to a NEW PURCHASE flow instead of restoring my existing paid subscription
- Codex returns: 402 Payment Required, code “deactivated_workspace”
- Request ID: 7a786652-27f4-40a6-bef4-15cda5317385
- CF Ray: a111ca40bf27e356-NRT
This appears to be the SAME billing backend corruption affecting multiple Business workspaces since mid-June (see threads 1384396, 1383994, 1384578). This is NOT a bank/payment method issue — the payment went through successfully.
What I need:
- Restore the existing 48-month promotional subscription (NOT a new purchase)
- A billing engineer to fix the corrupted workspace billing state
- Confirmation that my workspace data and promo pricing will be preserved
Thank you.
