Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A user paid 1,259 yuan for a Claude Max account from claudemax.shop; it was banned two hours after login and the seller blocked them instead of refunding.

The user says their Claude account was banned even after using a US residential VPS, an Apple-generated account, Turkey balance for Pro, and matching node, timezone and language.

The poster's new Claude account went two days on mobile without a ban, so they installed the PC app to see how long it lasts, praising the generous quota and high first-try success rate.

The author says blocked VPS providers like dmit may lead to more Claude account bans and asks what people do when banned.

The user says Claude understands complex logic far better, but fear of bans keeps them from making it their main tool.

Helping a friend register for Claude means sorting out VPS, overseas cards, roaming SIMs and datacenter IP basics, and when the account gets banned anyway, the friend blames you for doing it wrong.

The user says they use Opus 5.5 daily in Claude Code and report no ban after five days, finding the model no worse and only the switch from Cursor awkward.

A user says Claude's KYC verification went smoothly with a Chinese passport, noting that a Claude account they had used for over a year was previously banned.

A post claims Anthropic's prospectus states 5–7% of revenue comes from account bans, leaving the author puzzled about who keeps paying after being banned.

Using X's count API, the user tallies 652 Chinese posts about Claude bans or being banned in 24 hours, versus 2,418 about Grok Bot, noting memes and ads are included.

The post says Anthropic's registration filing shows rule-breaking users contributed up to 7% of revenue and its distillation defenses have banned tens of thousands of accounts.
