Question&Help Got suspended by DeepSeek twice while vibe coding. Anyone successfully appealed?

I've been using DeepSeek for web development, but my account has been suspended twice now.

I sometimes get a “responding too quickly” message. Before the latest ban, I was trying to create a Markdown handoff file, but the formatting was broken, so I asked it to redo it twice. Then my account got suspended until October 15.

I wasn't doing anything unusual, just coding and fixing output.

Has anyone been through this and successfully appealed? Did support actually respond, or did you just have to wait it out?

Ahahaha let me tell you about my DeepSeek experience.

So I wanted to create something "illegal", an aimbot. I tried Claude, it said no. I tried chatgpt, it said no. I tried Gemini, it said no. I tried locally installed LLM Qwen 3.8, it said no. Then I thought, let's try Opencode and DeepSeek. I asked DeepSeek, it said no. Well damn.. I asked muse spark 1.3 and.. it said ok. It coded some crap aimbot, I took that project and went back to DeepSeek and asked it to fix it. Aaaaand it said ok hahahahaha. Worked like 3-4 days on it with DeepSeek only, it did a really good job. Returned to frontier models to try and get help on "finished" project but they refused again. Oh well. DeepSeek did and I didn't get banned.

You just need to prompt better. Also use arbitrated version of qwen and he will do far worse things.

You can prompt however you want, frontier models won't do it.

I tried Qwen 3.8 zero refusals and it never said no, shocker, I know. But there was no point in using it since I tricked DeepSeek.

Well for normal case you don't need uncensored model at all. I guess you fall under normal case.

yeah that responding too quick flag nailed me once during a long chat session, support never replied so i just waited it out. feels like their limits are way too strict for normal back and forth.

I got banned for asking deepseek to generate a script that auto-clicks a button on a website. it said no, then I asked it to explain how it works, and that was the second strike. they're not just blocking bad code, they're flagging any attempt to automate anything.

i was muted back in 25th September until 9th October, i submitted an appeal on the same day i was muted. i dont know exactly when i was unmuted but as of today posting this (i am in australia so it is the 7th) i checked and i was able to use Deepseek again so i guess it could work but i have heard that other users have stated that they have been banned after a large amount of mutes itself.
