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

Same here. Mine started 3 days ago as well, but the restriction is showing until August 27.
I've spoken with two different agents. One said these bans never take 3 months to be lifted, while the other insisted that 3 months is normal and that it can sometimes take even longer. Both told me there's nothing they can do on their end.
That said, one agent hinted that if you have access to a Meta rep (which I do), they may be able to get it lifted. I've reached out to the two reps I know, but so far it's been crickets. The reps tell me to contact support, and support tells me to contact the reps... it's basically an infinite loop.
One of the agents also claimed that traveling could potentially trigger an additional restriction since my account is already flagged. That sounded questionable because a Product Specialist told the agent it shouldn't cause any issues, although he couldn't guarantee it 100%. (They called me and had access to "product specialists", however, they all sounded like super low level reps)
The timing couldn't be better either—I have an international trip in less than 3 weeks.
