Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The user says ban reports on X kept them from subscribing to Claude, but after switching back from Codex, Claude 5x has run for nearly a week without a suspension, calling the bans unpredictable.

Claude subscriptions can now be used free in Amp, but the author says the runner stays local and traffic still leaves from the user's own IP, so it does nothing for network-related ban risk.

The author says most of their products are built with Claude Code, which outputs about three times faster than Codex and leads on model quality, so a ban would sharply cut their efficiency.

A user shares an open-source project covering Claude cleanup, browser fingerprints, and system and network settings, saying it took many banned accounts to accumulate these lessons.

The poster asks if anyone has gone without any protection and still avoided a Claude ban, noting that people who changed home broadband, residential IPs, fingerprint browsers, time zones and system language still get banned within an hour.

From November 12, Anthropic will warn, then restrict access, and in extreme cases suspend accounts for repeated gratuitous cruelty toward Claude, which the author sees as putting AI moral status into the contract.

Suggests creating a docs folder in each project to commit architecture conclusions and pitfalls from Claude and Codex chats with the code, so a new model can pick up where you left off if your account gets banned.

The user says their Claude account was banned but argues that running matrix accounts for organic traffic does not require Opus 5.5.

A user asks whether the same China Merchants Bank Visa card that paid for a now-banned Claude account can still be used to pay for other Claude accounts.

Replying to another user, they claim Anthropic programs Claude with woke ideology and that violating those parameters leads to punishment or account suspension.

A user says a newly registered Claude account was banned in under a minute, and that the move makes them look forward to DeepSeek and GLM even more.

A user says that after multiple emails and two replies from human support, their banned Claude account was neither unbanned nor refunded, with support calling it the final decision.
