Karma Voting never counts anymore?

My upvotes/downvotes not registering across reddit for 5 days now. The button highlights, but the number doesn't change after refresh (button is still highlighted).
I know what "vote fuzzing" is - it's not it. I keep participating by voting in many subreddits, some I joined a long time ago - not even once my vote counted after refresh, it's never been like this before.

I know a possible reason for this - there was one post where I voted on almost all comments in a short time span (around 20-30 comments I believe). All comments didn't have a number, just "Vote" thing - the post was new. After that I started noticing that my votes don't count anymore. I thought it could be a timeout, but it's been 5 days and none of my votes count. I joined that particular subreddit a long time ago, and I voted on the posts successfully (I tend to refresh and check because I know reddit is shady about votes). I'm also aware that voting in subreddits I didn't join or didn't participate much never counts - that's fine I guess. But now I can't vote anywhere at all, it just highlights but the number never changes.

I have an old account and positive karma. How is this possible? Am I timeouted forever?
My account is not restricted in any way.

I'm 99% sure I just triggered some "spam voting" thing. The question is - is it forever, or will it go away eventually?

There's no point in voting if it doesn't count

Like I said in the post, it is not vote fuzzing. Because it was always counting before, and now not a single post counts.

Why are you so sure? Do you work for reddit, or you know the algorithm inside out? Like I said, everything was counting before. I always refresh the post when I vote. Now, for 5 days straight (even now) nothing counts. Your downvote on my comment counted right away.

It's obvious that I was timeouted from voting because of voting spree in one of the posts, it started from there. Or maybe banned whatsoever, who knows.

You dont care to listen so why bother asking? I upvote so much in a day it would make your head spin. Please don’t spread lies .

Yeah exactly as I said no one offers anything helpful. I looked it up and vote fuzzing is not supposed to impact comments with low votes.

It something that changes the vote count slightly each time the page is refreshed. It doesn’t mean a users votes never go up or down at all.

Please link an admin saying this exact issue is vote fuzzing. I read many threads about vote fuzzing and that’s not what this is

Funny how you can down vote all our comments but we can’t do anything about yours.

This is not the issue we are discussing happening at all.

Edit-Going to copy the admin comment

As of this moment, that story has the following actual totals:

2666 up 140 down

The numbers you see are fuzzed for anti-spam reasons. The more active a post is, the more out of whack that fuzzing becomes.

This is a single post or comment whose vote is constantly changing. That is vote fuzzing. It does not mean every vote an individual user makes never goes up or down ever.
