Persistent Shadow Ban Issues Despite Adhering to Guidelines and Best Practices

[I_am_Lope]

Hey everyone,

I’m having a frustrating issue with my bot—it keeps getting shadow banned, even though I’ve been really careful to follow all the guidelines and best practices. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. Followed the Documentation:

   • Set up all the required authentication and authorization.
   • Made sure the bot complies with the terms of service.

2. Kept it Simple:

   • The bot only uses basic API calls.
   • I’ve made sure it runs efficiently and doesn’t overuse resources.

3. Managed Rate Limits:

   • Added delays between requests to stay within rate limits.
   • Used exponential backoff strategies to handle any rate limiting.

Despite all this, my bot still gets shadow banned, and I’m not sure what I’m missing. Has anyone else dealt with this and found a solution?

Also, if you have any best practices for working with the Twitter API, especially for bots that run on schedules like cron jobs, I’d love to hear them. Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!
