Firstly, FAFO, I get it.
I was using 13 Claude Code 20x subscriptions. Fable on ultra code.
First, yes it was excessive. Yes I was using ultra code for everything unnecessarily, just because I cbf and the cost/month was low for my business.
With that out of the way, Anthropic rejected my ban appeal.
It was all personal use, just me, doing stuff for my business, I have no employees.
Regardless, appeal rejected, no reason given, and any account I create now gets instantly banned.
I’ve tried using a VPN, and different credit cards, but my accounts get banned really quickly.
The thing that’s unclear, is what exactly is banned? My company? Me personally? My billing address?
Am I not allowed to create any new accounts? And what is it that makes them able to detect any new accounts.
I suspect it’s my chrome profile or something like that, that’s the last thing I’ve been unwilling to change just due to the amount of effort in converting.
Anyway, just looking for advice, I’m just wanting one working account.

If you’re curious why I was using so many, it was just doing analysis of multiple Shopify stores, Google ads, meta ads, seo… Just a lot of iterations of statistical analysis for ecommerce stuff (stock forecasting, freight routing optimisation, freight aggregation, container load planning, accounting blah blah blah) many of these tasks were overkill, but running 10-15 Claude code terminals at one time, it was just easier to put everything on ultra so I didn’t have to hold Claude’s hand. Set a goal, define it really clearly, and let it run overnight.)
