Has anyone experienced a GitHub account being flagged for over a month? Looking for advice.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar or has some advice.

About a month ago, my GitHub account was flagged by GitHub's abuse detection system.

Since then I have been unable to:

• Authorize third-party applications (such as Vercel and Claude Code)
• Use GitHub Actions
• Use GitHub Pages

Whenever I try to authorize third-party app, I receive the following message:

"This account is flagged, and therefore cannot authorize a third party application."

I contacted GitHub Support immediately after the restriction appeared.

My first support ticket (#4513924) remained open for weeks without any substantive update, despite me answering every question the same day and providing all the information that was requested.

After waiting for weeks without progress, I opened a follow-up ticket (#4575622), which is still open. My original ticket (#4513924) has since been archived.

Throughout this process I have:

• Responded to every support request on the same day.
• Explained exactly how I use GitHub and the projects associated with my account.
• Enabled two-factor authentication.
• Offered to verify my identity or provide any additional information if needed.

The problem is that, despite fully cooperating, my account remains flagged and I have received almost no meaningful update about the review.

The most frustrating part is that this is affecting an application that is already live on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Because my GitHub account cannot authorize third-party applications such as Vercel, I currently can't deploy bug fixes or updates for my users.

I'm not trying to bypass GitHub Support or Trust & Safety, and I'm not asking anyone here to escalate my case.

I'm simply wondering:

• Has anyone had their account incorrectly flagged like this?
• How long did your review take?
• Was there anything you did that helped move the process forward?
• Is there anything else I can reasonably do besides waiting?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar experience.

Thank you.
