OpenAI can change the rules governing what you can do with its AI products at any time, and ongoing users and operators should monitor for policy updates that may affect their permitted use cases or require changes to their deployments.
OpenAI's Usage Policy defines hard limits on what consumers and developers can request from ChatGPT, Sora, Codex, and the API — including absolute bans on generating CSAM, weapons-related content, and content designed to undermine AI safety systems. Violations can result in immediate, unilateral account suspension or termination, which for paying subscribers or businesses relying on API access represents a material service disruption risk.
