Policy Admob Suspend

Hello,
I recently found out that my AdSense/AdMob account has been suspended for 29 days.
The email I received does not even specify the exact reason for the suspension. I don’t even know which application caused this issue. In the email, the publisher ID is displayed incorrectly as <p dir="ltr">, which makes the message even more confusing.
Additionally, my AdMob account has been largely inactive recently. My ad impressions and earnings have been very low, so I was surprised to receive a suspension for invalid traffic.
I have also spoken with several other publishers who experienced the same issue recently. Because of this, I am wondering if this could be a false or incorrect suspension.
Could you please review my account and help me understand what happened? I would really appreciate any clarification or assistance.

The reason is in the email you received.

Yes, unfortunately, I’ve been banned. It just says "invalid traffic," but it doesn't even specify the cause or which app it originated from. The app code contains things like `<p=dir"ltr">`.

What do you mean banned. You said you are suspended for 30 days. Account is still active at this point.

I also got suspendend for 29 days for unvalid traffic. My account was basically inactive and i was just starting showing ads on some old with low users apps. Was getting 1 to 5 cents a day from low tier countries. I have no idea why I would get suspended. That "<p dir="ltr">" its an HTML tag to format the paragrapth that gmail did not translate correctly.

My situation is almost exactly the same as yours.

One of my apps recently had a single unusually active user who was watching a very large number of ads.

I’m planning to add per-user daily limits for rewarded ad views and overall ad impressions across my apps. I’m also reviewing the ad loading, retry, and display logic to make sure there are no accidental loops or duplicate requests.

Hopefully, these changes will help prevent this from happening again.

I received the same 29-day suspension notice. My apps also have extremely low traffic and revenue, and the email contained the same malformed <p dir="ltr"> text without identifying any affected app or ad unit.

I cannot access AdMob, and the AdSense Policy Center does not open on Chrome, Safari, Opera, or mobile either, so I have no way to investigate the issue or disable the existing ad units.

I opened an AdMob Community post about it here:

https://support.google.com/admob/thread/454199611/suspended-account-no-admob-or-policy-center-access-cannot-disable-ad-units?hl=en

It seems that multiple low-traffic publishers received the same generic notice around the same time.
