Banned hours after renewing: Claude Max ban lottery strikes again
yangyi · x · 2026-10-15
User fkysly reports his Claude Max account was banned the same afternoon he renewed after a two-week lapse, prompting yangyi to joke about Twitter surveillance. Yangyi then revealed he got banned the day after posting about bans himself.
The coincidences are fueling community superstition that publicly discussing bans triggers enforcement — though random ban logic remains the likelier explanation, as another user's months-old Sub2API accounts show no pattern at all.
