Our translation of an excerpt from the blogger’s screenshot, not our own test or an original English support reply. Exact wording may vary. AI support can make mistakes; the reply does not establish that it checked your account status.
Interpretation
A similar reply is only a lead for further investigation, not proof of an account restriction or an AI downgrade. No such reply does not rule out restrictions. If the Help Center cannot open, you cannot send a message, or no reply arrives, the check is incomplete and no conclusion can be drawn.
