What's Wrong?
My Claude.ai and Anthropic API accounts (brazovskiy.d@gmail.com) were suspended on April 20, 2026 without any explanation.
Timeline:
- April 20, 2026: Both accounts suspended
- April 21, 2026: Appeal form submitted via official Safeguards page
- April 21, 2026: Email sent to usersafety@anthropic.com
- April 21, 2026: Email sent to support@anthropic.com requesting API balance refund
- May 6, 2026 (today): Follow-up email sent to support@anthropic.com
- 15 days total — zero response from a human agent
What I believe triggered the suspension:
I was regularly switching between my individual Claude account and a Team account (both on the same email) multiple times per day for legitimate professional work. This may have triggered an automated flag.
Issues:
- No explanation provided for the suspension
- No response from a human support agent in 15 days (only Fin AI bot auto-replies)
- Unused prepaid API balance was not refunded
- Appeal form submitted 15 days ago with no outcome
Fin AI conversation ID: 215474001025866
I am a paying customer who used Claude for legitimate professional purposes. I respectfully request that a human agent review my case.
This issue is similar to #9950 and #5088 reported previously.
What Should Happen?
- A human support agent should review the suspension and provide an explanation within a reasonable time frame.
- If the suspension was made in error, the account should be reinstated.
- The unused prepaid API balance should be refunded.
- The support system should not rely solely on an AI bot (Fin) to handle account suspension cases.
