Disadvantages of Renaming PSID

There are several risks that we might get if we change the name of the ID PS apart from being charged a fee. Because these changes don't apply to all games, some games may not work.

Old online nicknames may continue to appear to you and other users, but may no longer appear in certain places within the domain (for example, game leaderboards).

ID is updated automatically if out and back in for games same time, or perform other in-game activities after logging in. PlayStation user accounts are sometimes not linked from game accounts.

Some games can restore settings by logging out and then logging back into the game. In some cases, it may be possible to regain normal work by restoring the old ID. Moreover, it is better to save it whenever possible so that it does not change.

Knowing how to change PSID may be quite easy. However, this is indeed paid and there are some risks as the author explained above.
