iCloud functionality still works fine (contacts, calendar, photos, backups, etc). In addition to using it on all devices, I can log in to icloud.com.
I have access to my already-installed apps on my mac and iPhone. I can't install new apps or update existing apps. When I get my new M1 MacBook Pro I won't be able to install any App Store apps, or copy them from my old Intel MacBook Pro.
I can't listen to music or other content in iTunes that isn't already downloaded (and I kept nothing local, because I'm low on disk space). This one hurts the most: I will never have access to the music I painstakingly added to iTunes Match. The list of music is still in iTunes, but with the ↓ icon indicating it is only available online, and if I try to download, I get the “account blocked” error.
I can log in to apple.com and purchase items from the store using my Apple ID, but I can't apply my Apple balance to orders.
Apple said I have to create an entirely new Apple ID, I can't just replaced the App Store/iTunes part of my otherwise functional Apple ID.

That's what kills me the modt in that. That they tell you to create a new account while this is a boolean in their system...
This is pure theft. Justice rendered by a company that protects its interests before its own customers. Justice has been rendered, you have no appeal. What terrorises me is that Apple is not the worst in this category
I think the best solution is to take them to a small claims court. They are essentially defrauding you of significant value. Alternatively file a fraud case with the police.
