Hi everyone, I wanted to share my situation step by step because my account was falsely suspended by an automated AI bot, and I'm currently waiting for a human review. 

Here is how it happened:

\* July 29, 2026 (1 day before): My account @lukas\_weegenaar was fully active and working normally. The AI system ran its background checks with no issues.

\* July 30, 2026 (Morning/Afternoon): My account was still working fine, but an automated safety filter mistakenly flagged normal data on my profile as a risk.

\* July 30, 2026 (23:59): The AI bot abruptly cut my connection, put my account into "suspended / out of use" mode, and the clock screen appeared.

\* July 30, 2026 (Right after): I immediately clicked "Disagree with Decision" and submitted my appeal. 

\* July 31 – August 2, 2026: The initial 24 to 48-hour automated window passed, and my case was pushed into the human review queue.

\* August 3, 2026 (Today): My account is still showing the appeal screen ("You submitted an appeal on 30 July 2026"). 

I know it can take days or weeks for human support to clear a false AI ban, but has anyone else experienced this exact timeline recently? How long did it take for your account to get restored? 

Thanks for reading and sharing any advice!
