Anthropic's false-ban wave: 1.4M bans with near-zero human support
Admirable_Wasabi_732 · reddit · 2026-09-25
A Reddit long-post argues Anthropic is building frontier models while its platform reliability crumbles: the company banned 1.4M+ accounts to fight bots and fraud, but aggressive automated detection is nuking legitimate developers and paying Pro/Team subscribers overnight. Routine triggers include corporate VPN logins, IP mismatches while traveling, or code analysis trips overzealous safety filters. With boilerplate notices and appeals vanishing into an automated black hole, users are locked out of work, context, and paid subscriptions.
