Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

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.

DogeSMS says a large-scale Claude ban wave has triggered a rush to re-register, and it has urgently added new US number routes with a claimed 93% verification success rate over the past seven days.

The author says that whenever they check their account after seeing others report bans, they have never been banned.

A girlfriend used Claude abroad for over a year without issue but was banned two weeks after returning to China, even on the most expensive proxy tier, so the author set up Tailscale to route her through a home residential IP abroad, which has held for over a month but still feels risky.
