Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A commenter points out that it is Anthropic, not Claude, that bans accounts, and that Anthropic only detects and then bans users.

A user complains that using Claude in China means worrying about account bans while VPN IPs get blocked, so the energy goes into accounts, IPs and routes before any actual work begins.

The author recalls the wave of Claude account bans on X in July, says his Pro subscription from August has been fine for vibe coding, and argues avoiding Claude out of fear of a ban is no different from already being banned.

The author says users in China who have been banned before felt a chill at Claude's new Chinese interface, but argues risk control looks at environment fingerprints and payment channels, not front-end language.

A joke post imagines merging OpenAI and Anthropic into "Orio," ribbing Sam Altman for hype and Dario for banning users who trip his rules.

The user says a plain VPN with Clash fake IP has kept their Claude account unbanned for over half a year, and recommends syncing project content to GitHub so nothing is lost if banned.

A crosstalk-style routine jokes that Claude's risk controls ban users before registration finishes and take the $20 payment while closing the account.

The author notes it is day two of using Claude with only a clean residential IP and no other environment setup, and the account is still not banned.

A user says a long-banned Claude account was unbanned and the interface now shows Chinese, but the account still can't be used, leaving them wondering if recovery is possible.

After having five or six Claude accounts banned, a user asks whether anyone in China has used Claude steadily for two years, on Max or Pro, and how they keep their account safe.

Banned after their IP jumped between US and JP, a user switched to an AWS Lightsail Tokyo node with IpRoyal outbound and a locked AI proxy, and has run stably for three months, sharing subscription and quota details.

The author recommends Astrill, saying its fixed, clean IPs prevent ChatGPT and Claude bans caused by IP issues, and includes a referral link.
