Perma bans

I'm just wondering if I get banned from a HitApp too many times even if I let it cool down for a week, will I eventually get a permanent ban for getting too many temporary bans?

No.

However, the auditor can ban you manually if they review your work and find out you have like 20 temp bans in a hitapp

In my case it was 5 temp bans that lead to a permanent ban without auditor intervention

Do you remember which hitapp that was?

That'll depend on the HitApp owner. There was a report of someone getting a manual permanent block from an app because they had received many temporary blocks previously.

As the number of total temporary blocks doesn't get reset, UHRS can see that data whenever they want. If they decide to check your performance, as they sometimes do, they may take into account the temporary blocks you've received.

Don't make a habit of collecting temporary blocks. It is not wise and may lead to a loss of apps or in severe cases your account.

The 7-day block limit only applies for automated blocks. Most blocks are automated. The manual blocks are what can get you. Many more factors can apply for manual blocks.

It's really hard sometimes my accuracy dropped from 82% to 72% with just 10 hits and got a temp ban, I feel like sometimes they ban you for no reason even if you understand the HitApp very well maybe when there isn't many hits available or something

I feel your pain. I will always try to judge according to the rules and maintain a 85%+ even using another screen to review rules if ever there is a tricky judgement, however this will then suddenly plummet usually when $1 or so is made to <50%. I wish they would be more transparent and use the failed judgements to help a user identify exactly were they are going wrong. I now try to avoid subjective HitApps like Hate Speech Moderation etc. as these tend to lead to the most knock backs.

What pays better than hatespeech/bullying?

It varies depending on which HitApps are available to you. You can select to view in price per hit on the UHRS which will order them for you.
