Hasn't worked for me unfortunately, I am interested if people genuinely have got their accounts back after a ban though. There was no sniping done when using my bot and it was always kept at my local city and also kept to 10kmh walk speed

Give your iOS device a spring clean: guide to cleaning iPhone junk

Helpful, thanks for posting!

Pretty good information , tyty. Didnt know that there was bans based on pokemon captures or pokestop collecting

 

[Milius]

Thanks for the useful information, but bypass the ban using proxies doesn't always work.

 

Currently having the Login Error ban, sucks that it seems to be unfixable and permanent.

I've heard that people have gotten emails saying they're banned but I haven't received one.

After being soft banned on some of my accounts, even after a few weeks of not using them. They got perma banned T_T

 

Some more info on bans(from a pokemon bot discord);

HERE IS NEW INFO ON ALL BAN TYPES AND HOW TO POSSIBLY AVOID/BYPASS THEM (NOT 100% CONFIRMED)
* Soft ban Caused by jumping location. Unable to spin pokestops/catch pokemon/fight in gyms. Avoid it by either not jumping locations too quickly or by waiting before jumping there. A good estimate of how long you should wait is how long it would take to get there by flight. Can be bypassed by spinning a pokestop 1-50 times.

* Capture ban Caused by capturing more than 1000 pokemon in under 24 hours. Unable to capture pokemon. After ever hour, if your total pokemon in the last 24 hours is below the ban threshold, you'll be unbanned, If you surpass that threshold, you'll be banned again. Potential bypass by throwing missing pokeballs 15-30 times.

* Pokestop ban Caused by using more than 2000 pokestops in under 24 hours. Unable to use pokestops. After ever hour, if your total pokestop uses in the last 24 hours is below the ban threshold, you'll be unbanned, If you surpass that threshold, you'll be banned again. No public way to bypass.

* Temp IP ban Caused by too many requests from the same IP. This ban prevents any MapObjects from being returned. (unable to find pokestops error) Will last anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours depending on severity. Can be bypassed by using proxies.

* Login Error ban Possibly caused by login into multiple accounts with the same DeviceId or no DeviceId. Not much is known about this type of ban yet.
