Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The author says their Claude account was banned less than 30 minutes after signing up, after politely answering their question, and reposts a satirical list about Claude's uncanny ability to detect and ban Chinese users.

A commenter says Claude Pro accounts are rarely banned while Max API resale and shared accounts get hit most, recommends US Apple ID plus gift card purchases, advises complying with KYC, and warns refunds after bans are basically hopeless.

A user complains that Claude banned three of their accounts consecutively, without explaining the cause or any appeal outcome.

A user shares that running Claude safely depends on a single clean, stable exit IP; switching IPs frequently gets accounts banned, plus relay and landing-server setup advice.

A user jokes that he is more curious about what someone was building with Claude Code than why they were banned.

A user claims Claude's $20 plan carries the lowest ban risk, suggests opening multiple accounts instead of upgrading to Max, and asks how many others got banned.

A user jokes that any Claude workaround seems valid until a ban collapses it into 'this method doesn't work,' noting they've survived two weeks so far.

A user running a self-built Claude relay says their account and Apple ID were banned days after upgrading to Max x20, suspecting Claude Code now flags third-party gateways via a cc_gateway marker.

The author says Binance AI Pro lets users access Claude without ban risk, answering questions and performing actions like buying and selling crypto.

The author lists four traits of people who keep using Claude despite bans — resourceful, patient, current on SOTA models, and willing to spend $200 — and invites them to comment.

A user says an old Claude account was unbanned after persistent appeals and shares a step-by-step plan: Pro after one day, 5x if Pro survives three days, 20x if 5x lasts seven.
