Account Suspension Appeal — Incorrectly Deactivated on June 6

OpenAI Developer Community June 9, 2026

Banned: June 5, 17:53 UTC I’ve been appealing through email for days with no response and my account still hasn’t been restored. This looks exactly like the June 5 system glitch that hit a bunch of other users. A lot of them already got the “we incorrectly deactivated your account” email and their accounts back. I got banned in the same window but nothing has moved for mine — no reply, no unban. For context: I’m a CS student focused on deep learning and computer vision. I use ChatGPT heavily for studying and research. All my chat history, conversation threads with code debugging, paper discussions, experiment notes — a lot of important stuff is locked in there right now. Losing access is a real setback for my work. I’ve never done anything that should trigger a ban. No automation, no API misuse, no policy-violating content, no account sharing, no shady payment. Just normal personal use as a student. I’m not asking for special treatment — I’m asking for the same manual review that already cleared the other false positives on June 5. If a human looks at my account activity, it’ll be obvious there’s no violation. I’ve read the Usage Policies and I’m confident I haven’t broken any of them. Thank you.
