What to do when your account gets restricted
A restriction feels like an emergency, but panicked actions make it worse. Work the process calmly.
Step by step
- Read the exact notice in Account Quality — it names the reason.
- Fix the underlying issue if there is one (a violating ad, a billing problem).
- Request review once and wait — repeated appeals rarely help and can hurt.
- Don’t thrash — avoid creating new accounts frantically from the same environment.
The hard truth: some restrictions don’t come back, no matter how clean your appeal. The winning move isn’t a perfect appeal — it’s having a replacement ready so you never stop spending.
Build for recovery, not just prevention
Serious operators assume bans will happen and plan for continuity: spread spend, keep spare capacity, and have a fast path to a fresh, warmed account.
