Communication Ban expired and still banned

Sorry to hear it. However, a first communications ban isn't for just a few hours. The first ban is usually a 24 hour ban. This means that it would end at the same time it began. In this case on Oct. 5 at 21:12:40 UK time.

You can see the length of the ban by logging in to this link and clicking on the hammer icon

If, after the enforcement is over you still cannot use your chat or send messages then delete you profile from the console, power cycle it by holding the power button for 10 seconds until it shuts down and then redownload your profile to the console.

If there is no date listed for when the ban ends on enforcement.xbox.com that means that the ban has already expired. If you are still unable to use communications try removing the account from the console and redownloading it.

Try removing your account from your console,doing a hard reset & redownloading your profile.

If that doesn't work then it's possible you have had your suspension extended due to other offences the enforcement team have discovered.

For some reason this is not showing up on the enforcement site.

You can try contacting support
here & they might be able to see if your suspension was extended but will not be able to do anything about it.

A case review is the only way to contact the enforcement team.

Have you received a communications ban recently? There seems to be an ongoing problem with the ban system where party chat remains blocked even though the ban time has expired.

If your ban has expired and you still can't communicate with others try removing the account from the console and re adding it to see if that clears the issue.
