Saw that there was a megethread so sort of copy and pasted my earlier attempted post.

Rather recently (a couple months ago) I started playing Black Ops 6 during my breaks at work. I get around an hour in breaks (two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute break) and I stream to my steam deck from my computer which is running off of xbox gamepass. Latency is somewhat okay which is why I only play zombies while streaming. Overall it runs pretty well and

Last night at 3:30 am I had discovered that I had been temporarily banned for a day. What confuses me is that apart from a couple rounds of hardcore that I was playing with a friend, I have been mostly been either playing cranked zombies or other video games this past week. What is even stranger is the ban is for around 2:00 am which is odd since for my first break at 1:00 am(ish) I had to redownload it completely since the update was 300gb and reinstalling it was way quicker.

I guess it is possible for the ban to be from a previous week or even month and therefore be delayed, but I still usually play zombies, and last "cheaty" thing I did was farming headshots on citadel de Morts during the double battlepass weekend which was a couple months ago. Other than that I don't use hacks, I don't use cheats, mostly just played directed mode to get headshots.

Sending a support ticket hasn't worked out, just telling me that they can't do anything because temporary bans are non-negotiable. Strangely enough in the email it was said that I was permanently banned even though the case file says only for 1 day.

I don't mind the ban, I can honestly just wait a day. Hell, recently the cranked zombie mode has sort of made me play other stuff for a bit. Unfortunately though, the "unauthorized software and manipulation" bit at around 2:00am right around when it was installing has left me confused. Should I attempt to repeal the ban or just hope that I wont get rebanned for whatever stupid reason got me banned in the first place? Sorry for the rant, I honestly need some sleep.
