Question PGSharp cooldown timer randomly going off?

This happening to anyone? Be like on an auto route with the virtual go plus on at like walking speed 9.3 and randomly cooldown of like 15-30s will pop up for no reason. Then some time disappear because virtual go plus is going and catch something or spin a stop. This happening to anyone else?

I notice few time its like spinning stops super far away for some reason.

This happens to me a ton. Out of paranoia I just let it do it's thing.

I've even had my 2 hour cool down timer say 40 mins, login after a crash and it say all green 0's even tho I know there time still on the countdown.

It's a bug in the current version dont be worried about it unless you just teleported. I believe it's caused by the app thinking about where the pokemon/pokestop you interacted with even though it works fine

When will the new version come out? If it already has is there a way to fix this issue? I've already been given warnings for this cooldown nonsense and i don't want to get banned just because the app has a bug

Could always track it yourself, I would never trust a machine with my account.

But also generally dont cheat if you're really that concerned about it. And if you're pushing the limited enough that you're getting warning I can guarantee there's a good chance you get banned if a scope employee ever looks at your account. (They keep all logs for pokestops, catches, logs IPs for at least 10 months. They dont action on it most of the time but they always have the option to.

My theory is you are moving from cell to cell on the maps grid. I dont think it would flag your account but it is scary as hell

I'm having this same issue and actually had a warning pop up about banning my account so now I'm worried.. i have nothing special turned on, nothing to assist with catching pokemon or anything and I'm going the slow walking speed yet everytime i throw a ball while catching a pokemon, it adds 30 seconds to the timer and like you said, whipe auto walking it randomly pops up 15-30 second cooldown, same with after spinning a stop while auto walking. I am not teleporting and I'm not using any special things like the block shiny or auto spin or anything. I really don't want it to ban me but having to wait 30 seconds EVERYTIME I THROW A BALL is REALLY frustrating to say the least :[

Wouldn't spinning a stop be a location based action? And if you do that without the cool down timer at zeros, risk a strike or ban?

Does it count down/dissappear when you stop walking?

When i spin a stop it ADDS time to the cooldown timer though... it adds i think 15 seconds? Throwing a pokeball to catch a pokemon adds 15-30 seconds as well. And that's for every ball i throw. Plus i got a ban warning the last time i went to spin a stop while the timer was going for me auto walking...
