According to this Reddit Thread

Pokestop ban:
- Occurs when you search roughly 2k pokestops in a 23 hour timespan.
- No bypasses known.


Pokemon ban:
- Occurs when you catch 1k pokemon in a 23 hour timespan.
- Potential bypass by throwing missing pokeballs 15-30 times. (I haven't confirmed)


Both of these bans have the potential of being lifted every hour. After ever hour, if your total pokemon / pokestops in the last 23 hours is below the ban threshold, you'll be unbanned. If you surpass that threshold, you'll be banned again.

I can confirm myself.

I have a 37 lvl account (0-37 in just 2 days with Haxton super fast EXP/H ) that got the pokemon catch flee ban two days ago. Yesterday ban was over so i decide to go safe just for some sniping and used this combo New * improved 99%-100% iv team creator bot + location * high level * 50k-100K XP/H posted by @fokeiro . This bot will only snipe and farm pokestops, doesnt catch random wild pokemons. After some hours non stop using my account i got the pokestop ban. I could catch pokemons but pokestops give no loot. Today just tried and my account is ok !!!

So i have an account that received both softbans (not same time) and now its full working again. I think bot developers should check the exact number of pokestops and pokemons that trigger the softban, so the bots will auto shut down before you get the ban and also give you a time that you can start again.

If this is the case we dont need slow EXP/H or humanized throws/ slow walking. We can run a super fast bot for like 30 minutes per day and we are ok

Here it is explained a lot New ban types and their causes : pokemongodev

If this is confirmed i guess that bot devs can set bot to farm safe below 2k pokestops/23h and 1k pokemons/23h. So we will just have the bot running 24/7 and be safe!

Its 2k pokestops/day and 1k pokemons/day, not /hour xD.

yeah my bad, forgot to type 23. fixed now

We were all worried about walking speed, delays and humanthrow
But the real problem is 1000 pkm per day
So i think we can set the bot with high walking speed and low delay as we used to do in the last weeks, and close the bot after 1-2 hours depending on the pkm/h ratio
Somebody with some skill should implement in the bots the function to close the bot when 1000 pkm limit is reached

I was thinking if some1 is able to implement a script that auto changes the accounts after a time (1,2 hours).

So we can just run a bot 24/7 and upgrade like 12 accounts for 2 hours each every day!!! that would be awesome man!!!!

PLEASE Call the bot devs now, they need to check this

[BodyU]

Yea, that would really be really awesome.

I bet there is some external application that allows you to do schedule about running/closing applications in specific hours, but i dont know name of it...

[Roktu]

Been running a Poke-stop farmer for several days now, no ban. 3-6 seconds between each poke-stop.

Task scheduler is already a part of windows, though not the most user friendly, for this kind of setup with closing/opening multiple bots one after another.

still its manual, i mean user must set it up

What about a bot that can handle like 10 different accounts, and auto switch account every 2 hours

No, if you set up Task Scheduler, you can set it up, so that for example, :
@12pm start Bot 1
@6am turn off Bot 1, Start bot 2
@12am turn off Bot 2, Start Bot 3
@6pm turn off Bot 3, Start bot 4
@12 pm Turn off Bot 4, Start bot 1

and set it to reoccur daily. So you'd just set it up once and it automatically does the closing/starting continuously for you. So after 24h, it would go back to botting account 1

Thats really interesting Ripper, didnt know about that.
