Overview

Error code #368 — "Temporarily Blocked (Policy)". Your WhatsApp Business Account has been restricted or disabled because Meta detected a policy violation. This is a Meta-side enforcement, not a ChatDaddy bug. It can sometimes be appealed.

Why This Happens

  • Meta detected a messaging policy, commerce policy, or Terms of Service violation.

What to Do

  1. Review the WhatsApp Business Policy to understand what may have triggered the block.
  2. Open WhatsApp Manager and check for policy notices explaining the restriction.
  3. If you believe it's a mistake, submit an appeal to Meta from WhatsApp Manager / Account Quality.
  4. Adjust messaging behaviour to stay compliant before resuming.

Suggested Reply

The error you're seeing is Meta error code 368 — your account has been temporarily restricted for a suspected policy violation. This is a Meta-side action, not a ChatDaddy issue. 🙂

What to do:

  1. Check WhatsApp Manager for a policy notice explaining the restriction
  2. Review the WhatsApp Business Policy to see what may have triggered it
  3. If you believe it's an error, submit an appeal to Meta from Account Quality

Once Meta reviews and clears it, sending resumes. I can help you check the notice if you'd like! 😊
