it was indeed both. and thank you for the surprisingly quick response.
I checked the Banhammer Info, and I have honestly not done any of those things. I always try to play as fairly as possible. I guess I just have to wait this one out and keep an eye on the Commendations in the future.
I got banned from credits on my xbox and account and I don’t understand why I was playing with my friend on grift ball and I went Afk for a few matchs a I had to go for my tea and I think my friend went AFK too but I was banns from credits and he wasent and I couldn’t help that I was AFK so wat can be done with this ?

You we’re banned due to the AFK-ing. Regardless of the reason, going AFK is worthy of a credit ban.
If this is your first ban, it should only last 24-48 hours.
As for what can be done about it: Waiting out the ban and making sure to not walk away from the game for any period of time.
Fairenough well It the first time I’ve been banned from credits so hopefully it should be bk to normal tommarow cheers anyway
So here is the thing, I have been playing firefight and getting custom challenges for a day now. All of a sudden my credits stopped going into my total credits. For example I just played a grifball game to see if what would happen and I earned 2346 credits but when the game ended the credits showed uheaney then disappeared off my bar 
has this happened to anyone else? Is it possible I got banned somehow?
I’m not trying to get my ban changed or anything just trying to figure out what I did wrong so it doesn’t happen again. So if some one could help me with that I would appreciate it very much.
Did you have a guest with you? And if so, was there someone playing the guest?
Also welcome to Halo Waypoint!!! 
So… I was playing firefight, and mid game I got a call and had to step away. I was doing firefight doubles with a friend, and was afk for a game or 2. I came back, played a game…then had to step away again for another game or so. I finally return, and play 2-3 games…midway through WHILE I’m playing, I get credit banned. After reading some posts…I see that you can get banned for afking apparently, even for a short time.
Is there anyway to get this reversed, or is there anyone I can speak to for cases like this? And how long is the ban? I’m at 74/75 rounds completed in firefight for the weekly challenge and its the last day… am I really going to get screwed out of this challenge now because of a few uncontrollable incidents? If so…very not cool.
Welcome to Waypoint!
Sorry I don’t know why :[
I was in a firefight double and I had both controllers on and one was guest with no one playing.
And thanks haha.

Oookay, I know what happened, the same thing happened to me. Your second person was AFKing, and if that second player doesn’t get any kills you get banned. I found out the same way you did, by accident.

You were banned for AFK activity.
These are the first three that i found, but there are multiple AFK games on your record (25+ is not a few, although didn’t look through them all)
No body screwed you, and it was totally in your control. That many AFK’s can’t be by accident
The ban should expire in 24-48 hours if it is a first offense.
Right on ok thanks man I appreciate the help. Also it just says temporary ban it doesn’t give a time frame soo how long was ur ban.
> Right on ok thanks man I appreciate the help. Also it just says temporary ban it doesn’t give a time frame soo how long was ur ban.
If this was the first time you’ve been banned, it should be about 24 hours. If it’s the second time, a week.
Also I would like to just through out there that it should warn u first before going straight to ban. Cause I would have totally stopped doing that if I had known it was going to ban me from earning credits. Just saying.
> I was in a firefight double and I had both controllers on and one was guest with no one playing.
There is your answer. First time bans last 24-48 hours.
And also for the future, there is a thread for stuff like this. WHY DID I GET BANNED?

I know…
Yea first and hopefully only time thanks again man.
So I just discovered that when you’re credit banned you can still earn credits through custom challenges… So still no reply on why I got banned even though I’m sure I did nothing wrong but at least I know I can still earn credits while being banned for the 2 Weeks. And if I got banned for reaching my credit limit for the one day that I played then that’s stupid. There should be a cap not a ban!
