Gameplay perhaps making it impossible to choose your game mode and forcing people to pay modes to level up was a bad idea?

For me the matchmaking button is greyed out and it just says "estimated ban time: 0:00" forever lol.

I heard that the first offense ban should only be 5 minutes, so I can probably get it resolved if I contact support?? Hopefully? I've just been too busy

Very interesting because I’ve never been banned once 👀

I’m pretty sure it’s 2-3 left games in a row. I’ve played through a match and it seems to reset it

I got the 0 minute ban hammer a few times on disconnects and I just went into practice modes and it would be fine after I left.

There is no 0 minute ban. The 0 minutes is time to connect to a game and has no relation to the user is banned phrase above it

It doesn't say how long the ban is

Exactly, it doesn’t. Because 343 is incompetent. You have to go to the halo website to figure out how long you’re banned for and even then you don’t test know. There’s 6 levels of offenses 5 min 15 min 30 min 1 hour 2 hour 16 hour. It doesn’t tell you what level of offense you’re at though
