Did you ever try the business manager route instead of regular chat? I had a similar mess last month where they flagged my pixel for no reason. Took 11 days to get a real human who could actually look at the account. The chat folks just read from a script and can't do anything.

Pulling from the wire is fine if the plug is in there solid, people just baby their cords for no reason. Gas station cords die because they're junk, not because of how you yank them.

Wait a 14 year old named Marcus actually changed your mind after 8 years? Thats wild but honestly makes total sense, I never thought about reading speed being the whole reason either.
