After hearing many Claude accounts were banned, this user says theirs is still fine despite daily use for vector sticker design.

The post says shared proxy nodes can't survive Claude's risk controls and promises a breakdown of dedicated IPs, environment spoofing, and subscription channels.

A user who worked in Claude switched to Codex after his account was banned and found it can't deliver for non-expert users who describe tasks loosely, unlike Claude.

The author turns their own email into a ban notice and draws an AI illustration of a 'genius programmer's fall', tagged with Claude account bans.

The author hit a Claude server error and immediately assumed their account was banned, but it was just proxy nodes failing; reflects how ban anxiety has become reflex for Chinese users.

Anthropic's filing says about 5–7% of revenue in the first nine months came from users who violated policies, with bans stepped up in August and September.

The user says four Claude accounts were banned and concludes that mismatched signup, usage and payment IPs eventually trigger bans, so fix the environment before switching accounts.
