I really enjoyed Claude Code. I was using it on some side projects for about a month with API credits, and I signed up for the Max subscription shortly after it started working with Code. Overnight, my account was banned, and I have no idea why.

It sucks getting banned from such a cool and helpful tool :(

Did the program need to kill child processes a lot?

nope, just running and stopping dev servers. It may have done a pfkill once or twice if something was hanging?

Either way, using it was the API credits was fine for a little over a month, so I don't know if it was that. I got autobanned only a few hours after paying for Max and reauthing the client to use the subscription. My actual usage of it didn't change.

I had two accounts banned - one for Claude and one for the API. I tried to appeal both asking for more information. The response from Anthropic was non-specific and only that it violates usage. One account had only been minimally used. One never used. The accounts used email addresses using a domain I control - e.g., [email protected] for example. I think that might have something to do with it.

I have a new account now using a Google account and it hasn’t been banned.
