Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A user says their Claude account and their brother's were both suspended without a stated reason, both on the $200 Max plan, with a 10-day review wait.

A user mocks someone who topped up Claude and claimed everywhere to know anti-ban secrets, only to be banned days later and quietly buy another account.

A user's long-used Claude account, run on a native home broadband IP and upgraded from $20 to $200, was suddenly banned, and their own checks found three local network issues: Claude Code not supporting SOCKS, split IPv4/IPv6 routing, and inconsistent client egress.

A user shares an anti-ban setup: English Linux Mint in Hyper-V with a San Francisco timezone, a Raspberry Pi OpenClash routing the VM to a US IP, and a Gmail alias, used only in the evening with typed English.

A user asked Muse how to prevent a Claude ban; Muse relayed the question to Claude, and the user's Claude account was then banned.

A user whose Apple ID was banned asks whether switching to a new Claude account to continue a subscription is possible, or whether the account is already flagged.

A user says each Claude account he buys gets banned after a few days, and the next one gets banned too, joking that he can only call himself a Claude beginner.

A user argues Claude bans are not based on chat content but triggered by environment, noting his account was banned on a day he never opened it, and suspects the company mines user data.

A user asks about Devin's quota and says they will switch to Devin once their Claude account is banned, since they rarely use Cursor.

A user says their free Claude account, registered around 2024 and working fine, was banned shortly after a relay service appeared, suspecting they were caught up in it.

A user says they want to buy one month of Claude but their first thought is hoping they won't get banned, or at least not so soon, and calls themselves a bit pathetic.

A user warns that CodexBar keeps contacting Claude to read quota, so without a proxy or a dedicated Claude node the real IP may be exposed, and shares a prompt for having an agent set up network blocking.
