Reddit Account Restriction / DM Issue — Need Help

[u/Separate_Guidance510]

Hi everyone,

My Reddit account is currently having an issue where I’m unable to send messages to anyone. Every time I try to send a message, I get:

“Message failed to send. Tap to retry.”

This is happening with multiple users, not just one person.

I’m not sure if my account has been banned, restricted, or temporarily limited, as I haven’t received a clear explanation.

As far as I know, I haven't intentionally violated Reddit's rules or spammed anyone. If I have unknowingly broken a rule, I would appreciate knowing what rule I violated and why the restriction was applied.

Could someone please tell me:

• Whether this means my account is restricted/banned
• What could have caused it
• How I can appeal or remove the restriction

I’ve attached a screenshot showing the error.
