Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

After a three-year-old account was banned in July and three new registrations all died, the author switched to a self-built CN2 GIA network and the new account has survived over two months; the post ends with a BandwagonHost affiliate link.

The author says a shared Claude Pro account was banned, appealed with only "Personal Use" written in an angry American style, and was unbanned the next day with a $10 credit.

The author argues the recent Claude ban wave is not a platform glitch but many users triggering top-level anti-fraud audits when claiming official cloud/API free credits.

A reply-style joke: "POV when you're about to get your Anthropic account banned," riffing on the Claude ban wave.

The poster says many Chinese-region users were banned after retrying Claude in recent days, and enterprise accounts with AWS commercial contracts were also banned without reason; he is waiting for the $500 Pro Max instead.

The poster says Anthropic seems big-picture enough not to ban his account for using Claude to advertise its competitors.

A user asks whether using a Claude Max subscription in non-official harnesses still leads to a ban or is now allowed.
