Hi everyone, I’m a medical student, and I’ve been using Claude Code to build a personal visual revision resource to help me recognize different diseases. This was strictly for my own studies, with no commercial purpose or intention to distribute the material. I set up a multi-agent workflow to find relevant medical images, have them independently reviewed for diagnostic accuracy and educational value, and organize the selected images into course materials and practice exercises. The workflow prioritizes reputable medical reference websites such as DermNet, EyeWiki, Radiopaedia and PubMed Central, with Wikimedia Commons as a last resort. I also tried to account for copyright: I prioritized images available under free licenses or with clear reuse permissions. If an image wasn’t freely reusable, the script was supposed to provide a link to the original source instead, so I could consult it there and respect the applicable licensing terms. One important aspect of the setup was transparency. I explicitly asked the agents to keep detailed logs of their discussions, including why they accepted or rejected each image. I wanted to understand their reasoning, identify potential mistakes in their assessments, and improve the quality of the results. The workflow included independent reviewers and a final judge to check consistency. Everything was working fine last week, but when I ran the same workflow again today, I was banned from using Claude Code after approximately 15 minutes. I’m wondering whether the course content itself could have played a role. Some of the medical topics I study include gynecology, urology and forensic medicine, which can involve sensitive clinical images, including genital anatomy, intimate clinical photographs or injuries documented for medical and forensic purposes. All of this would be strictly within a medical and educational context, with no sexual intent whatsoever. Could images of this nature potentially trigger a ban, even when used for legitimate medical study? Or is it more likely that the automated searches, the number of agents involved, the volume of requests or the workflow itself could have caused the issue? I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced a similar situation, particularly if you’ve managed to get your access restored. How likely is an appeal to succeed, and is there anything specific I should mention when contacting support? I’m sorry if this post isn’t appropriate for this subreddit or if I’ve overlooked any relevant rules. I don’t mean to cause any issues; I’m simply trying to understand what happened and would appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance for any insight! submitted by /u/AdLoose9749
