API Error: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request, which appears to violate our Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup)

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by reviewing and adjusting the usage of Claude Code to comply with the Anthropic Usage Policy, as the error message suggests a policy violation.

Guidance

• Review the Anthropic Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup) to understand what types of requests may be violating the policy.
• Check the markdowns and code generated by Claude Code for any potential policy-violating content, especially in complicated coding sessions or reverse engineering tasks.
• Consider breaking down complex coding sessions into simpler tasks to reduce the likelihood of triggering the policy violation error.
• If the issue persists, try to identify any specific patterns or triggers that lead to the error, such as specific code snippets or markdown formats.

Notes

The root cause of the issue is unclear, but it appears to be related to the Anthropic Usage Policy. The fact that the issue has increased in frequency over the past month suggests that it may be related to changes in the user's workflow or the complexity of the coding sessions.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Review and adjust the usage of Claude Code to comply with the Anthropic Usage Policy, as this is the most likely cause of the issue.
