Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A self-described heavy GPT and Claude user says both accounts were once banned, tried Kimi but burned quota fast, and now mainly uses GPT Pro.

The poster relays the claim that Claude is the most disliked model among Chinese users because of frequent bans that lock away drafts and history, and asks readers how many times they were banned.

A tested local memory tool, installed and syncing beforehand, restores project context to a new Claude account after a ban, but only if set up before the ban.

The author claims a self-built VLESS+Reality proxy is rarely blocked for personal use, so Claude can be used freely, and even beginners can set it up with AI in one click.

A team says language and usage hours barely affect Claude bans, and five accounts opened for friends in China via their existing channel setup remain stable, noting overseas-environment bans and KYC.

Claude's payment page now lists mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan and accepts UnionPay cards, but Anthropic still restricts service to supported regions; banned accounts can appeal, with some reporting success.

A shared tip for stable Claude use: subscribe through Apple or Google Pay, never expose your real IP, and restart in a clean virtual machine if previously banned.

A user says they were banned immediately after paying for Claude Pro with no refund, and is now considering a cheaper shared subscription instead.

A user says they've used Claude long-term, even to direct a grokbot troubleshooting VPN nodes, without being banned, and thinks bans purely for being a Chinese user are less likely.

A user's Claude account was banned after letting their husband ask questions, citing the one-user-one-account policy; they re-registered but moved toward open-source models.

After their Claude Max 20x was banned, the author opened three Pro accounts on the same machine and network, all KYC'd with a Chinese passport, to see how long they last.

The author advises keeping nodes fixed and routing rules in fixed mode rather than auto-select, plus backing up chats every 7 days, saving custom instructions and Projects rules separately, and testing a new account before migrating history.
