Claude account blocked after verification: what to do
Anthropic handles appeals for blocked Claude accounts. For a separate model workflow, ApiClo offers Web Chat, Telegram and API access without signing in to your personal claude.ai account. Choose the browser, bot or Goose/OMP client. This does not lift the ban or automatically import old conversations.

Quick start: choose your client
- Start in the browser
Select a model and send a message on the website. No installation or API key needed.
- Claude in Telegram
Start the bot, choose a language and model, and check usage with documented commands.
- Goose Desktop setup
A desktop window and chat, with an ApiClo API key.
- Oh My Pi (OMP) setup
A terminal client for developers who want tools and configuration.
Before you start
- Read the exact Claude notice: a verification request, a verification failure and an account ban are different states.
- An ApiClo workflow uses an ApiClo account and key, not your Claude password, identity documents or Anthropic key.
Steps
Check the verification notice
A Persona identity check does not by itself mean your account is banned. Open verification through your Claude account and follow Anthropic's official instructions. Do not send documents to intermediaries promising an unlock.
Use the official help or appeal
For a failed check, consult the verification help page below. If the account is banned and you believe that is a mistake, sign in at claude.ai and use the official appeal form. Anthropic decides account restoration.
Save the conversations you can access
After signing in to the banned account, look for export beside the appeal form. Available data may depend on the ban reason. If settings remain accessible, use Settings → Privacy → Export data. The emailed download link expires after 24 hours and requires sign-in. If you cannot sign in, open the Anthropic Help Center messenger and select “I can't login”.
Check your subscription and refund options
Identify where you paid for Claude. Apple reviews App Store purchases at reportaproblem.apple.com; cancel the subscription separately. For website or Android payments, use Anthropic support. If your account is inaccessible, select “I can't login” and ask about cancellation and refund eligibility. The outcome depends on the purchase terms.
Start a separate ApiClo session
Register, open Web Chat and select an available model. Check its tariff and your balance. If a signup gift is available, complete its conditions and confirm the credit in the Gift section before sending paid requests.
Choose your interface
Follow the web-chat or Telegram guide above. Create a separate API key only for Goose, OMP or your own application.
Verify one answer
Choose ApiClo and your model, open a new chat and send a short task. Check the response and charged usage in ApiClo Logs before connecting more tools or starting a long session.
Check the result
The client returns an answer and the request appears in ApiClo Logs. Recovering the old Claude account and its conversations remains a separate matter for Anthropic.
Troubleshooting
- 404: do not duplicate v1/chat/completions in both host and path fields.
- 401: verify the complete ApiClo key and API key authentication. Keep keys out of screenshots.
- A Claude subscription login prompt means you should check which provider is selected.
- For temporary availability errors, send ApiClo support the time, model and error code without credentials.
Compatibility and billing
ApiClo is independent of Anthropic. It does not remove account bans, complete Persona verification for you or promise uninterrupted service. Check current models, prices and gift eligibility. Claude subscription payments and historical account access remain with Anthropic.
All documentationClaude bans and API access: common questions
Does a ban after a passport check prove the reason?
The sequence alone does not establish the cause of a specific ban. Use the account notice and Anthropic's response to your appeal.
Does ApiClo restore my Claude account?
No. It provides a separate account and API connection. Your personal Claude login is not used for this workflow.
Can I try it for free?
An eligible signup gift can fund initial requests once its conditions are met. API usage is charged at the chosen model's tariff; this is not unlimited free API access.
Should I use Goose or OMP?
Start with Goose Desktop for a graphical app, or OMP for a developer workflow in the terminal. Both need the ApiClo key and their own setup guide.
