If I get temp ban, how many days do I have to wait?

There are 3 possibilities:

  1. ⁠If you get 2 temporary blocks and manage to trigger another block within the same 7-day timeframe as the other 2 blocks, the next block will be permanent.

  2. ⁠If you get 1 temporary block and manage to trigger another block within the same 7-day timeframe as the other block, the next block will be permanent.

  3. ⁠You are manually blocked by the HitApp owner for any reason they deem appropriate. These can be temporary or permanent. They can hit you at any time even if you haven't done any work on the app for a while. This is because the block is applied by a human rather than a machine.

For possibility 1: the 3rd kick is permanent if all the blocks happen in a 7-day window (e.g. Day 1, 3, and 6).

For possibility 2: the 2nd kick is permanent if all blocks happen in a 7-day window (e.g. Day 3 and 6).

The 3rd is self-explanatory. Manual blocks are rarer. Most blocks are automatically applied when certain conditions (poor spam accuracy, going too fast, answers deviating from the average, etc) are met.

Waiting 7 full days after the first temporary block is the safest way to avoid automatic (what most judges get) permanent blocks. This is because of possibility 2. As you read, some apps will automatically permanently block you on the 2nd kick if there hasn't been at least a 7-day gap between each block.

You can risk it and allow yourself to get another block, as a lot of apps follow possibility 1. just know you'll be taking a risk by doing so. You may permanently lose access to some apps following that method because some apps will be following possibility 2. If you always wait 7 full days after the 1st block, you will rarely, if ever, get permanently blocked from HitApps. I've not had one in over a year now. All mine are temporary.

It's important to also note that there is no total block limit. Not that we know of anyway. If you follow the wait 7-day recommendation, you will find yourself getting temporarily blocked way more than 3 times on the same app. I've had many temporary blocks on the same app. None have led to a permanent block yet. There are no "3 strikes and you're out" policy. The "2/3 strikes and you're out" is only if all the blocks occur in the same 7-day window. That's what you need to avoid. If you space out the blocks, it's unlikely you'll be permanently blocked.
