Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The poster asks whether many people are switching to Grok bot because Claude accounts are prone to being banned.

An image post says 5–7% of Anthropic's revenue in its filing comes from banned violating accounts, about $1.65–2.32B, joking that banned users helped fund the IPO.

A banned Claude user appealed via the form only visible when logged into the banned account and got it back in about 2 hours, with Max downgraded to free and $40 refunded pro rata.

The poster says their Claude accounts kept getting banned, so they moved to ZenMux and won Claude Opus 5.5 credits from a $1 Halloween box.

A user says repeated Claude account bans drove them to try ZenMux, despite a cheap 1M Claude Opus 5.5 offer and liking Claude Code.

The post suggests using AWS new-account credits to call Claude via Bedrock, sidestepping KYC checks and IP-based bans.

A user asks whether a free video tool has a trial; the reply says they want to try it but fear getting their Claude account banned.

The author recounts a day of Claude suspension, reinstatement and refund, noting appeals hinge on abnormal-activity reasons, upgrading Pro to Max can forfeit the Pro fee, KYC doesn't affect reinstatement, and Max risk controls watch token frequency and multi-agent concurrency.

The author found Google mail names can be changed once a year and used the renamed same Google account, previously banned, to successfully register a new Claude account.

Someone cast a Qimen Dunjia chart on whether to upgrade to Claude 20x Max; a Grok reading saw signs of account anomalies, restrictions or bans and advised holding off for a couple of days.

The author says they have no long-term control data, only sharing their setup and process, and believes ban odds are low since everything except the bitbrowser environment is Claude's own.

A user planning to switch to Claude asks in a reply thread how to avoid getting banned, showing the ban wave is affecting new-user decisions.
