New IP Bans/DNS Bans?

[tylerfkn1]

I have tried over 10 accounts using 4 different bots ( Haxton, Necro, 8787, Autosniper )
and all find 0 pokemon and 0 pokestops. According to ispokemongodownornot .com the servers are perfectly up and running.
At first I thought maybe it was because the location of my bots were broken or something. I checked config to find that all were either in Amsterdam train station or in the center of new york.

Anybody have any idea what this might be? Is this the first DNS ban people have been rumoring?

If you're running a lot of accounts, Niantic has started limiting IPs so those accounts who have excessive requests / multiple accounts from the one location are temporarily blacklisted and receive empty map objects, which leads to what you see.

my wife and i are dealing with this right now, wondering if we're on our way to that ban hammer. seems so? how long is this softban stuff going to last, before they sweep the for permanent bans.

Does anybody know how long the temporary blacklists are? I think that is what happened, as I am running like near 100 bots at the same time and have been for a few days now

same here...

Running into the same issue with my 100 bots now. None of them find Pokestops.

Transferred them to a diff. location and they worked fine for 2min, than banned again.

After keeping the bots offline for 30min, it's unblocked. Though only running two bots atm.

Anyone know, how many bots still work without this softban?

I think it's not going to last that long.. And knowing the 'all people friendly' Niantic they aren't going to do something about it quickly..
But we'll never know. Let's hope for the best

I am currently running 8 bots with no issues

From my testing:

Running more than 50 Accounts for 5 minutes will get your IP blocked.

Stopping all connections (or possibly going back below 50?) to PoGo serers will allow you to resume again within 30 minutes, but you'll get blocked again if over the account limit.

9 accounts on necro get it to just tested it out. VPN server swich and it runs again without restarting but stops after different periods of time. My guess is, it's allso based on actions per X time instead of only active accounts/IP

[Chiaration]

Working with 40 bots, testing with 45. Trying to see how far i can go up by

[tylerfkn1]

45 bots seems to work fine, trying 50
edit 45 got me banned lul

[mikenl1988]

for me 40 bots = blacklist xD

[usrmd]

running 20 fine, run 25 softban real quick.

edit: actually to be specific there are 21 running fine, then if 26, goes to softban.. about 10 mins, and it's lifted.
