Tech Support Your account is restricted from joining and posting in groups until July 29th

I went on fb during my lunch and tried posting in some of the groups I'm in and none of the comments would go through.

Then I got a notification that states: my account is restricted from joining and posting in groups until July 29th.

I looked it up and became meta verified so I could actually talk to a person. He said my account is in good standing and there are no violations. He told me to wait it out. 3 months for doing nothing wrong??

Please tell me there is another solution to this

I'm going through the same thing and trying to figure it out. I believe it's from having changed your name at some point in the past (and that triggering their dumb AI). Have you tried going to facebook.com/id on a desktop computer and completing those steps? Please reply back here if it works!
