Hi, this is an experiment we launched in March that was meant to prevent account abuse from unauthorized resellers and protect against distillation.

The team has landed stronger mitigations since then and we’ve actually been meaning to take this down for a while. We merged the PR and this should be fully rolled back in tomorrow’s release.
