Got greeted with this message today. I've been playing Apex on linux for more than a year. Not sure if this could be related? Is this just me?

I've contested the ban and I'm currently waiting for a response from ea support.

UPDATE : Got an email response from EA today. It's basically a generic message saying that my account was associated with "cheating practices" and so they will not remove the ban.

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous! I've been playing this game since 2020 and have 3K+ hours on record, now this shit happens and there's no recourse ? Fuck this company.

At least when it comes to games, they likely don't want to disclose to potential cheaters how they detected them.

It's also a support burden to look into every case of automated bans.

Thay say it's for security, but it's to avoid accountability.

Yeah, I'm guessing there are many reasons that they don't disclose that.
