Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A user had Manus's Cue register a Claude account, which was banned within 22 minutes, and uses the experience to compare five agent products.

A user found their newly registered Claude account had already been banned, with the suspension email arriving ten minutes before the welcome email.

A user in China says Claude risk control triggers immediately and is testing a third account, avoiding a specific Tuic node to confirm whether the node is the cause.

A user says their 1.5-year-old Claude account was banned and a newly registered one was banned the day after login, and suspects a new Japan Tuic VPN node is the cause.

A post says Claude Code account bans often come down to poor IP quality, recommends a tool to check it, and warns against trusting people promoting residential broadband services on X.

The author argues Claude bans are random and illogical, users outside supported regions have no way to appeal, and the best option is to register several backup accounts.

The poster says Anthropic's bans are too severe: a friend in Japan had their Claude account banned, and his Japanese boss switched the entire team to Codex.

A user observes that banned Claude accounts almost all ran Claude Code CLI or the desktop app locally, while their own account, used only in an anti-detect browser and later via remote SSH to a US VPS, has survived a week.

A short post imagining Anthropic one day unbanning all banned accounts, then admitting it is just wishful thinking.

A joke post claims Xu Jiayin ran Claude Code on a maxed-out MacBook and bought a new machine to register a new account whenever one was banned, supposedly to erase device fingerprints.

A user replies that their Claude account has been banned.

A user says they could not resist using Claude Opus 5.5 again despite the risk of a ban, wishing themselves luck and joking about how many minutes they will last.
