Recovery playbook

Get your X account back on track

Four phases, thirty days. Do them in order. Skipping ahead is the most common reason recovery fails.

1

Phase 1 — Stop the bleeding (day 0)

  1. Delete or archive every post with engagement-farming phrases: follow-for-follow, RT to win, reply below, tag a friend, like if.
  2. Delete every undisclosed promo, referral link, giveaway, airdrop, WL and free-mint post from the last 30 days.
  3. Remove copyrighted media — movie clips, sports highlights, leaked material, uncredited artist work.
  4. Remove or relabel any AI-generated media on politics, elections, war, or health with a clear #AI disclosure.
  5. Unfollow engagement pods, follow-trains, and reply-guy rings you are part of.
  6. Stop reposting for 14 days. Zero retweets. Zero quote-tweet-for-the-sake-of-it.

Phase 2 — Reset the signal (days 1-7)

  1. Post 1-2 original long-form posts per day. Minimum 150 words or a 4+ post thread. No filler ('gm', 'wagmi', 'lfg').
  2. Pick ONE niche and stay in it for 30 days. The recommender needs consistency to rebuild your topic score.
  3. Attach native media to at least 60% of posts (image or video uploaded to X, not linked).
  4. Reply substantively to 5-10 accounts inside your niche daily. No 'nice post', no emoji-only replies.
  5. Write everything in your own words. Do not copy-paste, do not translate other posts, do not screenshot.
  6. Verify your account (blue checkmark) if you haven't — the algorithm gates payouts behind Premium.

Phase 3 — Rebuild reach (days 7-30)

  1. Aim for 5M+ impressions per rolling 30 days. Below that floor payouts stay paused.
  2. Keep repost ratio under 25% of your feed. Ideally under 10%.
  3. Disclose every paid partnership with #ad, #sponsored, or the native branded-content tag.
  4. Space posts 60-90 minutes apart. Bursts of 5+ posts in 10 minutes look like scripted spam.
  5. Do not run giveaways in this window. Even compliant giveaways get down-ranked while your account is under review.
  6. Use X Analytics to track: impressions, engagement rate, and 'not interested' signals. Cut post types with high skip rates.

Phase 4 — Appeal what's stuck (days 14+)

  1. If monetization is paused, open help.x.com/creator-support and file a 'Monetization review' ticket. Reference specific removed posts.
  2. If shadowbanned, submit a 'search suggestion ban' appeal via the support form — cite your improvements.
  3. If suspended, submit the account appeal at help.x.com/forms/account-access. Be short, factual, no all-caps.
  4. Wait 7 days between appeals. Duplicate appeals reset the queue and delay review.
  5. Never buy followers, buy engagement, or use a 'shadowban removal' service. All three make it worse.

Tried everything and still stuck?

If you've run all four phases and your account is still paused, shadowbanned, or suspended — send a DM. Include your handle, when the pause started, and what you've already tried.
