Level 41 account??? Really???.....
I had 4 accounts with that error and after 24 hours it has also been lifted and been able to use them but I try not to use them all on the same device I run others on emulators etc. Bots still functioning too.
I don't see a reason to split the thread as the catch/flee soft-ban is connected with fail to login error. I was un soft-banned after 24 hours and then ten minutes later i get the fail to login error.
Got catchflee softban at around 11 30 am, then tried the following until 1 pm to lift the ban:
1. Charged money into the account - did not work
2. Spun 40+ pokestops - did not work
3. Threw more than 50 balls each on the ground - did not work
Then I decided to wait it out, and I tried just now. Pokemons are no longer running away. HURRAY!
