Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A user complains Claude Duet is US-only for Pro/Max subscribers, joking they don't even qualify to be banned, amid recent aggressive Claude account bans.

After developer Yupi's Claude account was banned, the author worries what happens to programmers who rely on AI for code, debugging and docs if the account vanishes overnight.

A user follows a tutorial to upgrade to Claude Max for $100, treats the extra $25 Apple fee as ban insurance, and watches how long the account lasts given reports that upgrading to Max triggers bans.

A user registered since Anthropic's early days, paying for nearly three years with a one-year Max subscription, says their account was banned on the 20th and blames unchanged company policy.

A short reply joking about waiting to see when Claude's account gets banned.

Seven notes on the Claude Duet waitlist (US-only Pro/Max, matching emails, shared usage limits), ending with the author unable to join because their account was banned.

A user reports their Apple-subscribed Claude Max 5x was banned last week without triggering KYC, after uploading a resume, and now only dares to run a Pro account.

A user says their Claude account was banned right after completing KYC with a Chinese passport, and asks what other options exist for using Claude.

A reply speculates that Anthropic may be starting another round of account bans, expressing concern without describing a specific suspended account.

Post warns that keeping account access matters as much as paying, citing waking up to a disabled Claude account and lost work, while promoting a third-party account provider.

The user argues the Claude ban wave stems from big companies distilling via 20x accounts, causing many normal Chinese users to be banned, and says critics are blaming the wrong target.

The post claims Anthropic CEO Dario said the company can set its own red lines and ban China-linked entities across regions, even if registered in third countries.
