Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A roundup of ban-avoidance tips from dozens of developers: WebRTC/DNS fingerprint leaks, virtual cards on the web, and maxing out quotas are the biggest ban triggers; subscribing via US Apple in-app purchase and keeping code local are advised.

A poster claims to help fix Claude network environments to reduce ban risk, accepts only cryptocurrency or Hong Kong remittance, and says top-up issues are the buyer's own responsibility.

The author suspects switching between Japan and US VPN nodes caused inconsistent IPs and got their Claude account frozen, and advises against frequent region changes and shared proxy nodes.

Drawing on personal experience and others' reports, the author compiles seven usage habits to help avoid Claude account bans.

A short complaint that Claude banned the user's account, leaving them unable to use the service and frustrated with Anthropic.

The author finds Muse signups harder now: Gmail requires a QR scan and SMS, Apple ID requires contacting support, and Claude registration failed outright with a ban and phone and email verification.

A user reports that both Google accounts they used to register for Claude were banned right away, saying Claude accounts can no longer be farmed.

The author warns that Claude bans are very strict lately and that registering via Muse leaves the signup IP different from the usage IP, advising a two-week warm-up and starting on Pro before Max.

Opinion: Claude connections are built on UDP/QUIC, so a network that cannot route this traffic correctly is very likely to trigger an account ban.

A roundup of Claude ban triggers (shared proxy IPs, temp email, virtual cards, account sharing, constant high usage) claims Anthropic banned 1.45 million accounts in six months with only a 3.3% appeal success rate.

A user warns that if a conversation about Tor-related automation gets cut off, don't push it, since the realistic outcome is being banned from Claude.

A user says a banned Claude account is most likely gone for good and advises copying documents and generated videos to local storage in advance.
