Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A seller says Claude signups fail phone verification and SMS-code accounts get banned, so they pitch aged exclusive accounts with original email for reading contracts.

A seller promotes a ¥150 Claude Pro monthly card as low-risk, responding to complaints about paying yet still fearing bans.

A joke post greeting users across industries with jabs at Claude account bans, Codex quota cuts, ad account deaths and bot rate limits.

A user notes Claude's region list now includes China and supports UnionPay, prompting speculation about whether previously banned Chinese accounts will be unbanned.

The author argues Claude subscription-vs-API price comparisons are moot unless the subscription survives bans, unlike Kimi subscriptions.

The author notes many people's Claude accounts have been banned and that even holding a Pro subscription is hard-won, then suggests making videos by chatting ideas directly with AI instead of relying on skills.

Replying to another post, a user complains their Claude account was banned for no reason and support never explained why, which they find ironic next to talk of a race to the top.

The author argues that most circulating Claude ban-avoidance advice is unreliable, and those who lost hundreds of accounts keep their costly lessons private.

The author doubts Anthropic is really opening to Chinese users, suspects a phishing lure or Stripe misconfiguration, and warns that with Claude bans running hot, users should plan how to get refunds after being banned.

In a reply, the user jokes that Claude actually knows where you are from, so not being banned yet feels like the platform is just toying with you.

The author says refunds via Google went through for all three of their banned Claude accounts, with one initially rejected then approved the next day.

The poster advises choosing Other as the App Store refund reason instead of presets, writing in the text box that the account was banned and the charge unusable, then selecting the Claude order and submitting.
