Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A user says their Claude account was suspended immediately after subscribing to the 20x plan, and they have messaged an Anthropic employee for help.

A user speculates that Claude's new Simplified Chinese interface is meant to identify and ban Chinese-speaking users, and advises against using it.

Claude Code has added Simplified Chinese support, and the poster, saying their accounts have been banned so often they are numb to it, asks if anyone dares to try.

The poster asks whether the other person also uses Claude on a local computer, saying they never use it locally and have not been banned.

A user says they have always used Claude from Australia and only chatted in Chinese without being banned, and that using Claude via VPN during a month back in China also caused no problems, suggesting bans depend mainly on region.

In a reply, a user describes how uncomfortable it feels after a Claude account is banned, reflecting sentiment amid a wave of bans.

A user says they set up a CLI proxy through T3 Code to connect two Claude accounts and their second account was banned, even though they were only working on personal projects, and asks what triggered it and how to configure it properly.

After Claude added a Simplified Chinese interface option, a user jokes it is not meant to mark accounts for banning, notes many Chinese speakers live in the US, and asks how to avoid getting banned.

A user jokes that Claude's new Chinese language option exists to mark accounts that should be banned, reflecting Chinese users' sensitivity to the wave of bans.

Claude suddenly added Chinese to its system settings, and the poster sarcastically says it's there to more reliably flag users who should be banned, urging everyone to use it.

A user set up a CLI proxy through T3 Code to connect two Claude accounts and the second was banned, saying they only worked on their own projects and asking what triggered it.

A user says the many posts about Claude bans over forbidden topics suggest Anthropic closely monitors chat logs, and jokes about lines like "I'm a real person living in the US" to keep an account safe.
