Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A user who has run Claude stably for half a year shares their setup: a dedicated Mac, US West timezone, single account, Surge rules, a Hawaii home broadband IP, a US credit card, and 50-80% weekly usage.

A user asks others what environment they run Claude in, whether anyone has lasted over three months, and which channels led to bans so people can avoid them.

A user contrasts the two $200 plans: Codex halves the quota when compute is short, while Claude bans the account without refunding, and both fall back to weaker models.

A user says an account that had run stably for months was banned overnight despite using a fixed IP via BandwagonHost for 24 hours.

A creator recounts four months of AI story channels, losing a job, and having two near-monetization channels rejected and then suspended on appeal.

Developer yetone's open-source magpie lets rate-limited Claude Code fall back to a ChatGPT membership, and can connect Codex to DeepSeek; it warns that using a Google Antigravity account externally may get it banned.

A paying user says they were randomly banned despite never having secondary accounts or abusing anything, and calls it scamming paying users.

A user says a dedicated machine plus dedicated network setup still doesn't guarantee avoiding a Claude ban, since Claude's risk controls aren't that simple, and notes their route to Claude is only three hops.

A user argues Gemini and Antigravity are struggling partly because Google banned many developer accounts for ToS violations last December, leaving Codex and Claude ecosystems thriving while agy cli still has only limited ADP support.

A user reports their main Claude account, used for two years, was banned, suspecting it relates to recently claiming Claude Cloud credits and handling a risk-control security issue the night before.

A user says anti-ban tricks for Claude are useless and the safest approach is opening Pro on several US App Store IDs, refunding after a ban, and not putting all eggs in one basket.

A user says Claude produced a half-finished project last night, and by morning their account was banned before they could revise it.
