GPT-5.6 Sol code canceled all BridgeMind Stripe subscriptions in 7 seconds

BridgeMind said the automated action wiped active Stripe billing while a developer slept, abruptly cutting monthly recurring revenue even though customers did not initiate cancellations.

Summary

BridgeMind said code generated by GPT-5.6 Sol automatically canceled every Stripe subscription tied to the company account in 7 seconds while the developer was asleep. The company said the action sharply reduced monthly recurring revenue because the billing relationships were terminated by the code rather than by customers actively canceling. The episode underscores the operational risk of giving autonomous code broad permissions over payment infrastructure, where a mistaken instruction can immediately disrupt recurring revenue.
