Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The author says subscriptions kept getting banned within two days on a MacBook, but after switching to a Mac mini with the same node, timezone and language, the account has lasted nearly a month.

A user says their Claude account was banned in under half an hour, suspects a network blip or machine flagging, and plans to clear local Claude records, while summarizing their recent subscription experience with Apple IDs.

The poster jokes that the Claude ban notice arrived before the welcome email, saying Claude is powerful but bans just as hard.

A user who relies on ChatGPT for heavy tasks and Claude for daily work says that with the Claude account banned, a full day's work had to be done manually.

The author argues it is hypocritical to single out zcode while excusing grok, OpenAI and Claude, and accuses Claude of poisoning conversations, banning accounts and publishing a report justifying it.

The author jokes that Anthropic cross-checks work records, so suddenly going idle over the holiday could land users on a ban list, and suggests keeping normal Claude usage.

A user shared an image announcing that their Claude account was banned, one personal case in a recent wave of bans.

A poster claims more than half of Claude subscribers get banned within roughly a day, and shares a walkthrough image inviting others to try.

After losing a third 20x account in July, the user dropped Claude's official coding plan, registered a Pro account running entirely on a VPS, and is watching how long it survives.

Citing heavy recent Claude bans, the author built an isolated setup with a US VPS exit and two Mac mini VMs, all on US time zone and US payment, to see how long it lasts.

A user posts an image saying Claude's recent wave of account bans has become too much to handle.

The poster argues Anthropic bans Korean and European users too, so whether a Chinese user gets banned depends only on Dario's mood and internal detection, and Google Play, Apple in-app purchases and web payment make no difference.
