X shadowban: causes, how to check it and how to recover

Short answer

X calls it reduced visibility: your tweets stop showing in search, your account stops showing in account search, or your replies get hidden. It usually follows spam-like or very fast bulk activity, and it often lifts after a few days once the cause stops.

Common signs

Search ban: your tweets do not appear when others search from:yourname.
Search suggestion ban: your account does not appear when others type your name.
Reply deboosting / ghost ban: your replies are hidden behind “Show more replies”, or not shown at all.

Common causes

Very fast bulk actions: follows, unfollows, likes or replies.
Repeated content: the same text or link sent many times.
Many hashtags or mentions in one tweet.
Many reports, blocks or mutes from other users.

How to check

You see your own tweets even when others do not, so check from another account. In Erasion, open Account health → Visibility check in a second Chrome profile signed in to a different X account. It only reads: it never likes, follows or tweets.

How to recover

Stop bulk activity for 24–48 hours.
Delete spam-like replies: duplicates, repeated links and hashtag-heavy tweets (guide).
When you clean up again, use a careful speed with random pauses.
Check again after a few days.

X does not publish its rules for this, so no tool can promise a result. These steps remove the usual triggers.

Questions

Should I enter my password in a shadowban checker?

Never. Checkers only need a username. Erasion never asks for your X password either.

How long does a shadowban last?

Often a few days after the cause stops, but X does not publish a timeline.
