Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A post says Claude Code account bans often come down to poor IP quality, recommends a tool to check it, and warns against trusting people promoting residential broadband services on X.

The author argues Claude bans are random and illogical, users outside supported regions have no way to appeal, and the best option is to register several backup accounts.

The poster says Anthropic's bans are too severe: a friend in Japan had their Claude account banned, and his Japanese boss switched the entire team to Codex.

A user observes that banned Claude accounts almost all ran Claude Code CLI or the desktop app locally, while their own account, used only in an anti-detect browser and later via remote SSH to a US VPS, has survived a week.

A short post imagining Anthropic one day unbanning all banned accounts, then admitting it is just wishful thinking.

A joke post claims Xu Jiayin ran Claude Code on a maxed-out MacBook and bought a new machine to register a new account whenever one was banned, supposedly to erase device fingerprints.

A user replies that their Claude account has been banned.

A user says they could not resist using Claude Opus 5.5 again despite the risk of a ban, wishing themselves luck and joking about how many minutes they will last.

A poster warns that people who can't get their network environment right should not use Claude, since a ban is basically only a matter of time.

The user says Astra only lasts about two days and admits Opus performs better, but won't subscribe to Claude for fear of having the account banned.

Amid another wave of Claude bans, the user asks whether only Max subscriptions get banned while Pro accounts survive, noting their own Pro account is still active.

The user asked Muse how to avoid a Claude ban; Muse went and asked Claude, and Claude banned the account after reading it.
