Wouldn't they also be likely to lock you account or ban you for non-payment when you cancel the Final generated credit card number?

More likely they would lock your account until you pay up, which is different from the digital equivalent of confiscating all your stuff ie, getting banned.

Your account is charged when purchases happen. So your account would not be locked. You just couldn't make any additional purchases until you updated your account.

Chargebacks are the big problem for companies that operate like this.
