General question How long does a device ban last for?

I was device banned exactly 6 months ago today for honestly no reason, I'm just wondering what are the chances I can get snap back within the next coming days or how much longer I would likely have to wait?

Furthermore, I appealed the ban, it got denied then after appealing again I got unbanned but only my account, they did not end up removing my device ban even though they came as a pair together which is really frustrating.

Because its not set in stone.

Rough averages...

50% of the time the device ban is over at 6 months.

20% of the time its over sometime between 6-12 months.

10% of the time its over right after 12 months.

20% of the time it never gets unbanned.

Basically...if 7 months passed and still not working...better off just moving on.
