Anthropic has begun publishing moderation statistics, revealing that approximately 3.3% of appeals for blocked accounts were granted in the latter half of 2025. The company officially cites violations of its Usage Policy, Terms of Service, or originating from unsupported regions as reasons for account suspension. However, users report being banned for reasons such as sharing accounts, using VPNs, or utilizing subscription OAuth tokens with third-party tools instead of the official API, which are often not explicitly detailed in the official reasons. A notable incident involved the startup Belo, whose entire organization was temporarily locked out of Claude due to a likely false positive from Anthropic's automated systems. AI
