Banning is completely different than charging for a service you're silently not providing.

So if I change my timezone to Shanghai I deserve to get banned? Or get shitty model instead of what I’m paying for?

Yes, I said that. If a user is breaking your terms of service, ban them. Continuing to charge them while not providing the service they're paying for is, in fact, literal textbook fraud.
