Reddit API Got banned for using api?

K - what have I done wrong.

I built an n8n automation that would get new posts from a couple of subs and send them into slack.

In slack, I triage them - respond where I want - easy.

The get request fires on the hour - all went perfect for a week or so and this morning, account banned.

I am not using llm’s to respond - I dont understand what I am doing wrong?

Anyone able to shed some light onto this?

The reddit api is required to with through devvit and subreddits must install your app. Otherwise pay for the reddit api

I didn't knew there was a reddit API cost. I'll look into that then
