Abstract

In some embodiments, control circuitry logs, at a memory, over a particular time period, a number of instances of simultaneous streaming of media requests from a media streaming service by different devices using authentication information associated with a same user account. The control circuitry identifies a threshold number of instances of simultaneous streaming of media requests from the media streaming service by different devices using the authentication information associated with the same user account based on user account data. In response to determining that the number of instances of simultaneous streaming exceeds the identified threshold, input/output circuitry transmits a message via a graphical user interface of a user device associated with the user account. The message includes a user-selectable option to increase the threshold. In response to receiving a user selection of the option, the control circuitry increases the threshold.
