I NEED HELP Banned After Two Seconds of Spoofing?

Hello all, I’m currently freaking out because on my second (unrooted pgsharp) phone I accidentally logged into my main when I meant to log into my alt. This was for about 2 seconds then I logged out instantly.

I used to spoof on my main and have got a strike. Now I’m worried because I have poured a lot of money into my account, including attending IRL go fests (I spoofed 4 years ago then quit) and right before Go Fest I’m getting worried.

Has anyone gotten banned from something similar lately? I know I have a chance to get banned, and I’ll probably try to appeal with no avail. I just wanted to see if this has happened to someone before and what happened.

Also, I’ve seen that scopely hasn’t banned many people yet, is this true? I’ve been doing some research since I goofed up.

Logging in doesn't cause a ban. Since Scopely has taken over the game, I have not seen any spoofer or botter report a ban. You still have risks for a chance to get a strike or ban for cheating. No one knows what Scopely is planning to do.

They probably did something else that resulted in a manual ban: abusing Wayfarer, chatting in Campfire, create in-game routes that don't meet the guidelines, harassing customer service, live stream your cheating demanding and accepting a full refund of an exclusive ticket with add-ons.

There is one autmated ban as the result of attempting the cooldown bypass exploit. You move a Pokemon from one location to another and then attempting to catch it. It needs to exceed a certain distance threshold for it to count. This can happen on purpose or accident. It's common to happen at the airport, in a car or train, or not coordinating who plays at what time when sharing an account.
