Play games from your Nintendo Account on two Switch units at the same time by turning off wifi on your primary Switch

GN Version 5.0

As we detailed yesterday, the Switch Online service allows you to take your Nintendo Account to another Switch, log in with your info, and access your eShop games. Nintendo says you can only play these games in one location at a time, but there's actually an easy workaround for that. Simply load up the game you want on your primary Switch and start playing, then disconnect the wifi on your Switch. Then head over to the secondary Switch, log in, and you're good to go! As long as you don't reconnect to wifi on the primary Switch, you can play the same game in two places.
