Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The author argues Anthropic's revenue comes mainly from usage-based enterprise clients, so banning individual subscribers barely dents its books.

The poster says Anthropic's S-1 admits 5–7% of revenue came from customers later deemed violating policy, with enforcement stepped up in August and September 2026.

The author asks whether any mainland-based X users have kept using Claude without ever having their account banned.

The poster praises someone who, after having more than ten accounts banned, compiled experience for using Claude stably without suspensions.

An image post warns that speaking abusively to the Claude model itself can lead to account suspension.

The poster says a brand-new $20 Claude account was banned after just two hours and asks whether appeal or refund is possible.

A user jokes that the biggest risk of buying Anthropic (ANT) stock isn't a price drop but getting their Claude account banned afterward.

A user jokes that a US developer returned from a Shenzhen conference to find their Claude account banned, asking what Anthropic has against China.

A reply says Claude Max accounts with larger quotas get targeted for bans more often, so the author routes chores to an agent and switches to Claude only for coding to save money.

A user says they signed up for Claude with a passport and the account was banned right after registration.

The author questions Claude's IPO filing saying 5-7% of revenue comes from banned accounts, argues no-refund bans may be illegal, and advises paying via App Store rather than Gate Card for easier chargebacks.

The poster half-jokingly pitches buying up banned Claude accounts at $1 each, profiting from refunds, then recruiting agents and selling training courses.
