Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The author checks screenshots showing UnionPay checkout, China as a billing country, and appeals for permanently banned accounts, concluding none prove mainland access, since the supported-regions list is unchanged and Hong Kong VPN accounts are still being suspended.

Shares two self-check tools, one for IP quality and one aimed at Chinese users, to reduce the risk of a Claude Code ban.

A user posts an image and jokes that Anthropic would have them banned over the content.

An open-source Skill distills three years and 80+ Claude account bans into risk checks for device, account history, network and payment, usable with Claude Code or Codex.

The poster argues that mass-registering new accounts does not help; Claude's risk control favors Google accounts aged 5–10 years, pure residential IPs, and matching timezone and language.

The poster says several bloggers have recently shown Claude reinstatement emails, with the Chinese signature machine-translated as 'Humane Society protection team', and asks whether anyone's appeal succeeded.

The author plans to upgrade an old Google-linked account to Claude Max 20x with US payment and Oracle US IP, recording whether KYC appears or the account gets banned.

A joking post ranks using Claude Opus for three days straight without getting banned—and reverse-engineering its prompts—alongside running TikTok on a China-market phone as true expert skills.

A user asks whether a US PayPal payment can be refunded after a Claude ban, and whether rebinding another Apple account allows repurchase or the name and address are already blacklisted.

A developer claims Anthropic banned their account for building a validator-level tool that blocks pumpfun transactions, in a post mainly promoting an LST.

A veteran warns that reopening Claude on the same machine, network, passport and payment path after a ban leaves a link — any one overlap can get the new account flagged.

The author says their studio topped up 200–300 Claude CC Max 20x accounts and that 99% of bans trace to IP, with residential IPs essential.
