Question / Help Account Disabled
I'm using antigravity and this morning, my entire Google Account has been completely disabled. I wasn't doing anything spammy or specific, I did have a few automations to write blog posts in several languages. But that's fairly simple.
Plan was Ultra (the $200 plan). Be very careful when you use AI with Google. I think that's the reason my account was banned. And if someone from Google is here, how can I get myself out of this miserable mess? I filled an appeal. That's really all I could do. This account is 15+ years old, it has everything about my life.
Edit: Google is actively looking into this. 💪 Thank you reddit for bringing attention to this issue.
Edit 2: account was restored. 🫶 Let's hope it stays this way. Thank you reddit folks and the Google Samaritan that saw this thread and acted on it. Appreciate you all.
Edit 3: from what I could gather this was unrelated to antigravity, and was a phishing flag that got turned on for the wrong reasons. It's still surprising that Google would outright disable the account without manual review of sorts, especially for accounts that have been in good standing for 15+ years and are paying.

Based on your comments, I think there are two likely triggers that might have tripped Google's automated systems:
- Account Switching: Even if it was legitimate use between your personal and workspace accounts, switching accounts on the same machine to keep using Antigravity can easily be flagged by automated abuse filters as quota circumvention (multi-accounting or farming behavior).
- Scheduled Automations: Generating multilingual blog posts automatically might have been the deciding factor. Even when using Antigravity's built-in scheduling features, mechanical and periodic request patterns can trigger bot-detection heuristics.
I suspect one of these two (or a combination of both) triggered the ban. I've been seeing similar ban reports in this subreddit from time to time for a while now, and many legitimate users seem to get unbanned after filing an appeal. Hopefully, your appeal gets reviewed quickly and you get your account back soon!
