OpenAI deactivated my account for "Cyber Abuse" while I was building a remote ADB support tool. Appeal rejected with no explanation.
An Android developer from Pakistan reported their OpenAI account was deactivated for "Cyber Abuse" without explanation, despite paying $200 monthly and having 62,500 credits. The developer was building a remote ADB support tool for customer device setup and troubleshooting. They questioned if their work involving device management, remote support, or security tooling vocabulary might have triggered the flagging, and sought advice on successful appeal processes or human review for deactivations.
This report details a specific instance of OpenAI account deactivation for "Cyber Abuse" without explanation, unlike general reports of content moderation issues.
