    මම දාගෙන හිටියෙ indian VPN එකෙන් දාගත්ත අවුරුද්දක් free දෙන ChatGPT Go එක. (ඒ කාලෙ @Nanosudha දාපු thread එකක තිබුණ එක)

    Codex එකේ ඉක්මණට limit වෙන හින්දා අද Plus දාගන්න ගියා. Plus එක Rs. 6,200 යි. Upgrade කරන්න ගියාම එතන තිබුණෙ දවස් 109 කට Rs. 16,200 ක් වගේ එකක්. (ඒක විතරයි තෝරගන්න තිබුණෙ) මං හිතුවෙ අර Go එක expire වෙන දවස දක්වා plus එකට ගෙවන්න ඕනෙ ඉතුරු ගාණ වෙන්න ඇති කියලා හිතලා pay කළා.

    මං වගේ ගොනෙක් යකෝ මෝඩ මූසලයෙක් 😂 ඒ 16,200 ගෙව්වාට පස්සෙත් තියෙන්නෙ Go එකමයි. Plus එක ගන්න තව 6,200 ක් ගෙවන්න ඕනෙ. ඊටපස්සෙ ඒකත් ගෙවලා plus ගත්තා.

    මට ඔහොම කරන්නැතුව කෙලින්ම වෙන ChatGPT account එකක් හදාගෙන ඒකෙන් නිකංම 6,200 ට plus එක ගන්න තිබුණා.


    දැන් ඉතිං මට බණින්න එපා. මං මේක දැම්මෙ මං වගේ තව කවුරු හරි මේ මෝඩ වැඩේ කරගනියි කියලා හිතලා.

    කෙටියෙන්ම කිව්වොත් අර free දෙන ChatGPT go එකේ ඉඳන් plus එකට upgrade කරන්න එපා.

    * අර go එක තියෙන අය මතක් කරලා ඒක expire වෙන දවසට කලින් subscription එක අයින් කරගන්න.


    ඔයාලාටත් මේ වගේ අරුම පුදුම විශ්මිත විශේෂාංග සිද්ධ වෙලා තියෙනවා නම් කියාගෙන යන්න.
    -------------------

    Update:-
    මම refund ඉල්ලන්න කලින් banking app එකට ගිහින් බැලුවා හරියටම කැපිලා තියෙන ගාණ බලන්න. බලන කොට අර ChatGPT එකට මුලින්ම ගෙවපු 16,200 එක අතුරුදහන් වෙලා. (විහිලුවට නෙවේ මේ ඇත්තටම කියන්නෙ).
    දෙවනියට කරපු හරි payment එක විතරක් පෙන්නනවා.

    හැබැයි ඒ වෙලාවෙ transaction දෙකම වුණා කියලා ආව SMS දෙක තියෙනවා. SMS දෙක තිබුණාට account එකේ පෙන්නන්නෙ දෙවනි transaction එක විතරයි.

    * මං හිතන්නෙ එයාලා 16,200 payment එක අරගෙන නෑ/ නැත්තං refund කරලා.

    කාගෙන්ද ඉල්ලන්නෙ? උන් මට බනීද දන්නෑ නේ.
    Yes, he has a good chance of getting a refund (or at least a partial one), especially if he acts quickly.

    Why he likely qualifies:​

    • This sounds like a clear case of billing/upgrade confusion — he misunderstood the pricing screen during the upgrade from ChatGPT Go to Plus.
    • OpenAI explicitly says accidental purchases are generally eligible for refunds if requested within 14 days of the charge.
    • The 109-day / Rs. 16,200 option appearing as the only choice, combined with the existing Go plan, created a misleading experience. Many users have reported similar upgrade glitches when switching tiers.

    What he should do right now:​

    1. Log into the exact account that was charged (the one with the Go plan).
    2. Go to chatgpt.com → then to the Help Center.
    3. Open the chat widget (bottom right).
    4. Clearly explain:
      • He was on ChatGPT Go (1-year free via Indian VPN).
      • Tried to upgrade to Plus.
      • Only saw the 109-day Rs. 16,200 option and thought it was prorated remaining balance.
      • Paid that + another Rs. 6,200, but still had issues.
      • Requests refund for the extra/misunderstood Rs. 16,200 charge.
    5. Provide: charge dates, amounts, screenshots of the upgrade screen if he has them, and transaction IDs.
    Do this as soon as possible — the sooner after the charge, the higher the approval chance.

    Extra tips:​

    • He can also cancel the subscription immediately to stop any further issues.
    • If the charges are very recent (within a few days), success rate is high based on many similar user reports.
    • Worst case, they may refund only the larger mistaken charge and keep the proper Plus payment.
    Bottom line: Yes, tell him to open the Help Center chat today and politely explain the confusion. OpenAI does issue refunds in these kinds of upgrade mix-ups.

    The warning in the post is valid though — upgrading from Go can be glitchy. Better to create a fresh account for Plus if needed.

    මාත් ඔහොම එකක් කරගත්ත එක පාරක් බාගෙට කියවලා.
    කොහොමත් සල්ලි අතේ තියෙනවා නන් ඔහොම වැඩ නිතරම වෙනවා. හරියට තිතට ගාණ හදලා අමාරුවෙන් ගන්නකොට ඔහොම කරන්නේ නෑ අපි හොදට බලනවා.
