Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

The user says that after their Claude account was banned they no longer want to deal with it, and now hopes OpenAI keeps improving and cuts prices on older models.

A joking post asks which is more impressive in mainland China: using Claude every day without getting banned, or browsing TikTok unrestricted.

While many report Claude bans, this poster jokes that his own Claude account remains stable and has already used up its weekly limit.

A Grok-summarized roundup of community advice: prefer web and cloud environments, use residential IPs with split tunneling, isolate devices, and treat Claude Code/API as higher risk than the web app.

The author has Grok analyze X posts about Claude bans, finding little evidence for claims like KYC triggering bans or residential IPs being required, and says a dedicated fixed exit matters most.

A user reports being banned immediately after registering Claude without ever using it, and asks how many people around them still have unbanned Claude accounts.

After a 22-day ban on a first Claude account, the author resubscribes to Max and details IP, DNS and WebRTC checks, kill-switch setup, passport verification and paying with an Australian card.

The poster mocks the wave of Claude anti-ban advice (IP warming, environment setup, overseas Mac Mini hosting), noting the gurus themselves still get banned and hosting costs may be wasted.

After losing many Claude accounts, the author hit Persona KYC when upgrading Pro to Max and reports that a Chinese passport plus face scan passed, noting Persona stores data separately from Anthropic.

A user says months of Chinese chats on a plain datacenter IP have not gotten him banned, arguing language and IP are not the key factors, and suspects upgrading from Pro to Max is the real trigger while asking others for evidence.

An API relay site posts that it will take in users whose Claude accounts have been banned, linking to its service.

A user asks whether rumors are true that Anthropic recently relaxed its ban policy and has even reinstated some users' Claude accounts.
