As recorded at collection: Estimated additional cost of approximately 0.83 dollars per OpenAI Team seat
As recorded at collection: The calculation estimates that adding seats just before the OpenAI Team billing cycle expires and paying only for the remaining period costs approximately 0.83 dollars per seat. A Team workspace that expires the next day and a bank card capable of normal payment are required, and this is a theoretical estimate that has not been actually verified.

Details
This is a method of adding seats just before the OpenAI Team billing cycle ends to secure seats for subaccounts at low cost. The calculation uses a method of paying only for the days remaining in the current billing cycle, rather than the full one month fee for new seats.
A Team workspace expiring the next day and a bank card capable of normal payment are required. If the number of seats is increased to 300, the calculation is 300 × 25 dollars ÷ 30 × 1 day, which comes to about 250 dollars, and the cost per seat is approximately 0.83 dollars. In regions with relatively low prices, such as Japan and Thailand, the calculation suggests that it could fall to approximately 0.6 dollars per seat, or about 4~6 yuan.
The poster says they did not test it personally because they could not find a $0.52 Team plan or a Team plan close to expiration. The estimate that a lower-tier sub-account seat with a weekly Team limit can be obtained for around 4 to 6 yuan, as well as the market sale price and profit calculations, are all theoretical. The claim that a $0.52 Team plan can earn 2,000 yuan is described as exaggerated.
