My bad, I meant to mention iPhone.
Try adding 3rd iPhone, it won't work.
At least that's the case with three accounts I have.
Maybe not the same iphone model is allowed for the 3rd time. I ordered 3 different iphone recently in single account.

If you're trading it in, not much.

If you're selling it on, having an eSIM on the device will open you up to a Not as Described claim on eBay, etc. if you sold it as "brand new". If the eSIM (and account, suspended or not) is paired to the device and you sell it on to a Metro user, they won't be able to activate it on Metro and that will also generate a Not as Described claim.

If you want to resell the smart thing to do is:
  • Activate the line.
  • Move the line to another device to ensure the original IMEI is clear.
  • Factory reset the iPhone.
You can do all of that with an open box, without having to remove the plastic on the phone.

Advertise it as "like new, open box, SIM removed" and anyone buying will know exactly what they're getting.
Thanks for the details. Can you please clarify below.
1. Activate the line—> is it with physical or eSIM or doesn't matter ?
2. Move the line to another device to ensure the original IMEI is clear — so after activation call metro to change the sim to another unlocked phone ?

You don't need a year of service, just 1 month.

Definitely not one month. You better read T-Mobile's unlocking policy.... clearly states if it's a prepaid phone it will unlock after a year of service....40 days if it's purchased through T-Mobile postpay

This is not Tmobile prepaid, This is Metro, Tmobile unlock policy does NOT apply here at all, you better read the post before posting a comment.

Um you're very wrong:
Metro by T-Mobile's approach to device unlocking
Once a device becomes eligible for unlocking (eligibility requirements are described below), Metro by T-Mobile will automatically and remotely unlock the device within two business days if the device supports remote unlock.
Some devices cannot be remotely unlocked by Metro by T-Mobile. In these cases, Metro by T-Mobile will send a notification to the device within two business days of it becoming eligible, with next steps to complete the unlock process.
If you received a notification that your device is eligible to be unlocked, and you need instructions for completing the unlocking process, click here.
Unlock eligibility requirements
We unlock mobile devices that meet the following eligibility criteria free of charge:
The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date.
