Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A self-described Claude Max Opus 5.5 user says their account has never been banned, a survival data point amid the ban wave.

The user says a Claude account registered via StarVPN datacenter IP has survived nearly 10 days, and fears a dirtier IP from another provider could trigger a ban.

A user reports that both of their Claude accounts were banned shortly after being used simultaneously, saying Claude forbids one person holding two accounts.

A promotional post says subscription-sharing platform GamsGo offers a 10-day shared Claude account for $3.97, handling sign-up and KYC so users avoid bans and only need a clean IP.

Citing Anthropic's $16.8B Q3 revenue and a 5–7% share from violating customers, the post estimates banned Claude users contributed roughly $0.8–1.2B in subscription fees.

The poster attributes Claude account bans mainly to dirty IPs and recommends a static residential IP instead of switching proxies, linking a tutorial costing about $16 a year.

A user picks Claude for writing and Codex for code details, but says the real pain point is keeping accounts from being banned.

A user says their Claude iOS access has been stable with no ban, and asked Claude itself for the reason.

The author jokes about whether buying Anthropic stock after its IPO would keep their Claude account from being banned.

The poster has heard Claude recently started releasing banned accounts and asks whether any previously suspended users were actually reinstated, guessing a policy or risk-control shift.

A user who was banned once says Claude is indispensable for coding and writing, and wants the most stable route, prioritizing stability over price.

The post says Anthropic's filing shows 5–7% of revenue in the first nine months came from customers later deemed violating, and its terms state subscriptions banned for violations are not refunded.
