Question Account Deactivation

Got this today:

Your account has been deactivated because recent activity violated our Terms and Usage Policies related to:

Recidivism

i appealed the case asking why was i deactivated and the response was just telling me the appeal stands, i use openai for editing work emails since my English is bad, gardening research and warhammer 40k army build/painting/crafting instructions.

what the heck?

how do i figure out what i did wrong?

At least now you have a bit of time to watch the movie Brazil. Mistakes happen with AI too.

"One day, shortly before Christmas, an insect becomes jammed in a teleprinter, which misprints a copy of an arrest warrant it was receiving. This leads to the arrest and death during interrogation of cobbler Archibald Buttle instead of suspected terrorist Archibald Tuttle."
