Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A user posts an image saying their Claude account has finally been banned, with only a one-line lament.

Someone is trying to use Claude Code's new Mods feature to bypass Anthropic's ban detection, and the poster questions whether it actually works.

The poster argues that Claude bans mainly depend on whether KYC and behavior patterns match, and that changing IP, language and payment method alone is not enough.

The poster argues that Claude bans are driven by behavior analysis rather than nationality or IP, since an American using a VPN in China would not necessarily be banned.

The author's Claude account was banned; after some effort they opened a new Pro account and reflected on whether Claude is truly necessary and on how good products depend on human judgment.

The poster frames the Claude ban wave as a selection process, saying those not banned are the chosen ones, and extends the thought to worries about extreme scenarios.

A user says they paid for Claude at 2PM and were restricted by 8PM after asking Codex to set up GitHub for a migration, and that support refused to refund the $100.

The post argues that most of the Claude ban-avoidance and ban-report content on X is lead-generation scripts for selling proxies, residential IPs and VPS services.

The user says they stopped bothering with Claude after two account bans and moved to ChatGPT, wondering how others manage seven or eight attempts.

The author says China appearing in the billing country dropdown is likely just an unfiltered form, since the official supported-regions list still excludes mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, and payment or login may still be rejected.

A user says the biggest wave of Claude account bans is underway, with WeChat Index search heat for "Claude ban" maxed out, and speculates it is tied to the upcoming Fable 5.5 release.

The author, who has had nearly 10 Claude accounts banned, advises against non-Gmail overseas email, random proxy IPs and previously banned devices, and suggests paying via the App Store.
