Don’t worry about it, Anthropic is banned from releasing new models anyway. Try out some of the competitors, they are really good these days.
Yeah Claude was down I tried OpenCode and it seems reliable. Any one got any experience with large projects?

#82That gives me a "there's probably more to this story" feeling. Though I understand that there are people without multiple credit cards, getting a second credit card and/or debit card is not difficult under ordinary circumstances.
Most probably because my vpn was on I got banned
This reinforces my "there's probably more to this story."

#831) Try a competitor 2) next time have a fallback 3) Stay close enough to the code that you aren’t helpless when the tools go away On the one hand humans are sort of useless without tools. On the other hand if we go limp and abdicate our ownership of our workflows we might as well be dead. I have my primary rig, a secondary and I’m installing a local model on an old gaming rig with a GPU in it.

#85I was banned from open ai under similar circumstances, right after they scaled out their payments system. I was paying through Google play, and one day account was banned. The process of appeal was crazy. First, they told me they couldn't tell me what I did wrong. Then, they said, even though they couldn't tell me what I did wrong, if I apologized for doing it they would consider the appeal. Finally, they told me that they confirmed it was due to suspicious payment activity.
Just for shits and giggles, I sent a follow up email once a month for over a year.
What's interesting, is my developer account is tied to a phone number. So, even though I can still pay openai under a different email (same card!) I can't access the developer account because that number is accounted for.
There are a lot of people on this site that want to be skeptical and say, "hmmm there has to be more to this story." There really isn't. Unless you consider that I said disparaging things about Sam Altman in a chat to chatgpt once, maybe that's it.
This is the world these companies are building for us: absolute rent seeking behavior towards the in/put group. And if you're in the out group, you can eat shit.

#86Should be:
> Anthropic banned me from using Claude Code unfairly and I don't know how to appeal
What does "I don't know what to do" even mean? Genuinely who cares if this happens? Its not like the old days where being banned from adsense could literally destroy your business... If this is how they treat you then screw them and just go use Codex or something.
It's genuinely insane to me how many people now seem unable to function without Claude.
I realised earlier I have multiple coworkers who literally could not work during the Anthropic outage. I use CC quite heavily, but I only found out about the outage after I noticed they were sending multiple messages about how they weren't able to work. Some people now seem to think that writing code by hand is a feat which humans can no longer do with any reasonable level of productivity. There's also a dude I work with who is really irritatingly running all his messages through Claude because his Slack messages have all the annoying hallmarks of Claude – e.g., "I'd like to highlight with you one very real issue [x] raised yesterday". I was trying to get hold of him during the outage and he suspiciously didn't reply until the outage was over.
Until today I thought it was a bit of a meme that people were becoming dependant on AI, but I'm starting to see it everywhere at this point...
> Do you guys have any tips on getting my account back?
I think you're asking the wrong question. I'd consider asking why you care so much. This should be a mild inconvenience at most.
