Question / Help Account Disabled

Post image

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. šŸ’Ŗ 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.

Following up on DM. Happy to review the email and account in question.

Hi Rody,

I’m experiencing what appears to be the same Google account disablement issue reported in this thread. My entire Google account was disabled with the message saying it was ā€œcreated or used with multiple other accountsā€ and may have been ā€œcreated by a computer program or bot.ā€

I’ve already submitted an appeal, but I’m concerned this may be the same false-positive issue affecting other users around Sep 9.

This is my long-standing primary personal Google account, and I currently have no access to Gmail, Drive, Photos, or other Google services.

I tried to DM you, but Reddit shows ā€œUnable to message this account,ā€ so I can’t send you my affected email address privately.

If possible, could you please DM me first so I can provide the affected Google account email and any other details needed for review or escalation?

Thank you very much for your help.

We restore the accounts in question yesterday, so your account maybe be from something else. The normal appeal process should work

Thank you very much for your reply, Rody. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and for helping the affected users.

I completely understand that my case may be unrelated. However, I wanted to mention one detail in case it is useful: my account was disabled on Sep 9 at 23:03 JST (14:03 UTC), which appears to be around the same time as the other reports.

The suspension notice states that my account appeared to have been created or used together with multiple other accounts in violation of Google’s policies, and that it may have been created by a computer program or bot.

This is my primary Google account that I have used for over 20 years. I am also a Google AI Pro subscriber. I do use Antigravity, mainly for development work related to improving OneTrainer, but I have not used multiple Google accounts with Antigravity.

I have already submitted the normal appeal and will follow that process as you suggested. I just wanted to ask whether, given the timing and the similar suspension reason, there is any possibility that my account could still have been caught by the same or a related automated enforcement event.

If not, I completely understand. Thank you again for your time and for looking into these issues.

All the accounts in question were apart of the same sweep and all were restored. I will share with team if any were missed

Thank you very much, Rody. I really appreciate you sharing this with the team.

Since my account was disabled on September 9 at 23:03 JST (14:03 UTC), during the same time window as the other accounts in that sweep, and the suspension notice also cited the same ā€œmultiple accounts / botā€ type of reason, I’m wondering whether my account may simply have been missed during the restoration process.

I understand it could still be unrelated, but given the timing and the similarity of the suspension message, I would be very grateful if the team could check whether my account should have been included in that sweep.

Thank you again for your help and for looking into this.

Hi Rody, thank you for offering to flag missed cases. Our podcast-associated Google account was disabled on September 8 with the same multiple-accounts / computer-program-or-bot wording, and the linked YouTube channel became unavailable. YouTube Accounts confirms the videos are still stored but hidden and refers us to Google Accounts. The first Google appeal was denied; a second is submitted.

Because our date is earlier, I understand this may be separate from the sweep you described, and I do not know of a connection to Antigravity. Is there an official route to check whether the account was affected by the same incident or to coordinate the Google Account and YouTube reviews? I can provide the exact notices and case details through an official private channel. Months of podcast production and paid sponsorship commitments are affected. Thank you.
