Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

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 account was just banned and they will use Codex as a stopgap before trying Claude again.

The author's Claude account was banned, so they flipped subscriptions to Codex $100 plus Claude $20 and run a three-step flow: Opus writes the spec, Codex executes, Opus reviews.

A post listing 2026 must-haves labels Codex as the "Claude banned version", positioning it as the fallback after a Claude ban.

A user who worked in Claude switched to Codex after his account was banned and found it can't deliver for non-expert users who describe tasks loosely, unlike Claude.

The author says severe Claude bans pushed many to Codex, reports a big productivity jump after subscribing, and shares his no-ban setup: a Taiwan cousin's email and local bank card plus a stable US proxy.

A user whose Claude account was banned says they no longer dare use it and is asking for the lowest monthly price on a $100 Codex plan for long-term use.

The author says unstable Claude access and constant bans pushed them to Codex, which they used to produce a 78-second 3D animated short.

A replier who also got banned right after paying for membership suggests splitting spec-writing and rendering across models, using Cursor with GPT/Codex and Gemini for long prompts so one failure doesn't stop the pipeline.

The poster says Codex plus Claude still isn't enough, wants Max but fears a ban, and has moved from Codex to Cursor and bots, trusting third-party access to Claude more.

The poster asks users who had Claude accounts banned whether they re-registered with a new email or moved to Codex instead.

The post aggregates V2EX, X and Reddit complaints about Codex quota cuts and Claude ban and quality fears, then promotes separate API tokens, Muse dedicated accounts and compliant top-up services.
