Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The user says their Claude account of several years was banned, and that a relay service cost 16 yuan for a single simple task.

A shared appeal template for banned Claude accounts advises denying any unknown violations, asking Anthropic to recheck the activity logs from the day of the ban, stressing use only in supported regions, and firmly demanding reinstatement.

The user says they only asked how North Korea launders crypto and which platforms lack KYT, was warned by Claude, and had their account banned the next day.

A user says claims that VPNs will be banned in October, that Claude will open to China, and that Google will ban Chinese accounts are all traffic-bait rumors to scroll past.

A shared guide covers how to fill out the Claude ban appeal form and write an English email, warning users to replace the sample experience and dates with their own and that escalation doesn't guarantee reinstatement.

The author says they have used Claude for a long time without being banned and writes up their account-keeping experience and habits for users worried about bans.

After their Claude account was banned, a user tried mimo, GLM and K3, found monthly costs far exceeded $200, and switched to Codex, which they say still feels less comfortable than Claude after a few days.

The user says their Claude account was banned again with a notice that it cannot be unbanned, and asks if there is any way to recover it since it holds an annual Claude Pro subscription.

A user says their Claude account has gone four months without a ban using a Taiwan time zone and a Google account subscription, mostly for financial market analysis, and asks banned users what they used it for.

A user argues Claude bans accounts at scale because Claude accounts are not linked to other accounts, while Google is more cautious about mass bans given the responsibility involved.

A user jokes that if believing in the "Claude religion" could get their banned account back plus monthly Max quota, it might be worth believing.

A commenter responds to the account-ban discussion by advising against heavy reliance on Claude, since whether an account gets banned is entirely outside the user's control.
