Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A developer posts that their Claude account was banned, captioning it "a genius programmer has fallen" in a resigned tone.

Amid Anthropic's National Day ban wave, a guide covers fixed IPs, checking IPv6/DNS leaks, environment isolation, account warm-up pacing, payment, and App Store refunds.

A Claude 20x user says they rarely use up the weekly quota, once with 30% left, and guesses this may have reduced the chance of a ban.

After two rejected Google Play refund requests, a user emailed a complaint with receipts and ban screenshots and got a refund.

A user says their Claude membership, renewed with a gift card, was banned before one task finished after a stable year of use, and asks whether to switch to relay services.

The author reverse-engineered the Claude Android app to build an LSP module that one-click spoofs Taiwan location, carrier, timezone and more to prevent bans.

A user whose Claude account was banned switched to opencode's go subscription and is deciding between a third $10 account and the $40/month go plus plan.

The author gifted a friend a month of Claude 5x and shared ban-avoidance tips, but both of his own accounts were banned the same day, flagged for wrong login country and usage policy violation, possibly tied to reverse engineering and NSFW research.

Amid a wave of Claude bans, the author says three accounts registered through Airtap, Grok bot, and Muse are still alive, and mentions a half-price alternative.

A user whose current Claude account has never been banned worries that upgrading to Claude Pro might cause a ban and asks the community for experience.

A user says the Pro web version risks false bans when the node changes and Claude Code hits the 5-hour limit, so switching to Anthropic Console with a card and API is more worry-free.

The user says people would behave the same way if Claude did not ban accounts so often, and notes that many long-surviving accounts cannot explain why they were spared.
