• How to tell if you are suspended
• Why your account is suspended
• How to lift a suspension from your account

We can even help you find out how to get unbanned from PS4!

How To Tell if You Are Suspended From PlayStation

You will know that your account or console has been suspended if you see one of the following error codes when attempting to sign in to your account:

In most cases, the company will also email you, explaining your suspension and its duration.

Types of PSN Suspensions

There are two different suspension types issued by the company:

1. Account suspensions—you won’t have access to the PlayStation Network and won’t be able to use certain products and services (even the ones you paid for)
2. Console suspensions—you won’t be able to connect to PlayStation Network with any account from your console

Keep in mind that, for minor offenses, you may get a warning instead of a suspension. The console suspensions are reserved for the most serious breaches of the PlayStation Network Terms of Service.

How Long Is a PSN Suspension?

The only way to find out how long your suspension will last is to check the email notification from PlayStation Safety. According to some users, a temporary suspension will usually last for a week or so.

Why Was My PS4 Account Suspended?

When you initially signed up for PSN, you agreed to its Terms of Service and Community Code of Conduct. Failing to comply with the rules listed in these documents results in a suspension or ban from moderators who thoroughly check each report of a violation.

Check out this summarized list of actions you shouldn’t participate in if you want to avoid getting suspended or banned—you must not:

• Bully, harras, troll, stalk, or threaten anyone
• Share, stream, create, or upload lewd, violent, or graphic sexual content
• Organize hate groups and use hate speech
• Promote or engage in terrorism, illegal activity, acts of violence, or self-harm
• Reveal personal information about yourself or another person
• Alter, create, upload, stream, or share images or audio of another person without their consent
• Buy, sell, share, rent, transfer, or phish accounts or account details and credentials
• Cheat, use bugs and glitches to get an advantage, or get unauthorized access to PSN content
• Upload, post, transmit, or stream content that contains spyware, viruses, worms, and other harmful programs
• Send spam
• Steal anyone’s identity or engage in deceptive practices
• Be rude to PSN employees, agents, or representatives
• Engage in or promote any activity that infringes on the rights of a third party or violates the law

One of the other reasons that can cause a suspension is a chargeback, which occurs when a financial institution cancels an existing payment upon your request. To be more precise, your account will be suspended if you made a purchase on PlayStation Network and reversed the payment.

How To Lift a Suspension on PS4

Account and console suspensions on PlayStation Network are results of thorough investigations by PlayStation Safety staff. For this reason, suspensions are final and you can’t appeal them. There is one exception to this rule—you can appeal if you have been suspended for an account debt. To do so, contact PlayStation Support. In any other case, you will have to wait for your suspension to expire if it’s temporary. If you buy a used PlayStation console that was suspended, keep in mind that the suspension can’t be lifted. What you can do is contact the seller for help.

If you don’t feel like contacting PlayStation Support and want to avoid the hassle of going back and forth with the company, sign up for DoNotPay.
