BF6 appeal on "Waiting for studio" - how long did yours take?

Hi all,

I'd like to hear from anyone who has been through EA's appeal process.

My EA ID is P0LUFANTIK. My access to Battlefield 6 was suspended on 23 Oct 2026. I play on PC via Steam (about 242 hours). I filed an appeal the same day (case #257317964), and since 10 Nov it has been on "Waiting for studio". I have also filed a data access request with EA, which was acknowledged.

Two things I don't understand:

• The email says the suspension is temporary, while my account page says "permanent".
• I hadn't launched the game for 24 days before the ban. The ban email arrived before I launched it again.

I don't use cheats, mods or any third-party tools, and I'm waiting for a review.

1. If your appeal was on "Waiting for studio": how long did it take to get a decision?
2. Has anyone seen the "temporary" vs. "permanent" mismatch, and what was behind it?

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I'm basically afraid to play Call of Duty because of permabans. I just started playing Battlefield 6 I have mods on my PC but not running while I play BF6. They are for other games I use wemod. There are programs that people use while cheating that can flag players and get them vac banned.

Someone sued EA for this very same situation and won, so I would gently remind them about that. Brazil was the jurisdiction, though.

Studio's do not care, they just use AI to review crap and stick to their guns, they wont ever tell you why you were banned. Unless you are in the EU and GDPR applies, to which you can legally requesting them to provide you the information and why you were banned, and they are legally required to do it with in like 90 days or something, otherwise, assume your account is gone forever.

This is where I could try a charge back with your CC company if you used it to pay for the game.
