its never a "ban" its a restriction. if its checking versions with the window moving its a 14-20 day restriction. if it says unable to connect its more like 20-30 days. then you have wait in line and it can be anywhere from x seconds to wait all the way to 20+ days. it all clears up but you should have a separate residential ip + cdkeys + accounts + email that are separate where you can just fall back on that.

Well, that isn't true. I had checking versions with the window moving and it was not a 14-20 day restriction.

i have had 8, 12, 24 (hour) versions of this but it was very rare. I do a lot of botting so im always hit with these like multiple times a year. maybe blizzard made the type of restriction less aggressive?

That makes sense. I do alot of botting myself. Thank you for the info!!

make sure and isolate your cdkeys, accounts, email, ip from each other. you can look online and find a residential ipv4 proxies. most are scams but some are real, i have not used those services in a while but most sellers are on discord/irc. on my computer you can run 11 virtual machines each with 8 clients per ip since i got the ram and 24 core cpu. try for 2 cores per vm + 10 gigs ram then leave 20+ for the host machine. if you do lack hardware you can just rent virtual hosting services and install bots on that.
