Another machine account suspended after automation activity...

Just adding my case because it looks very similar to these two recent reports:

• Urgent: GitHub Account Suspended – Development Work Blocked #208955, Hermes Agent / gh CLI automation account suspension
• GitHub is hiding automated bot accounts which abide by terms of service and ignoring support tickets #208994, dedicated coding-agent / bot account suspension

I created a dedicated GitHub machine account, @Aether-V, for my developer automation agent (Hermes Agent). Within about a day, after being added to several of my own repositories and doing normal Git/API automation, the account was suspended for an unspecified Terms of Service violation.

The pattern looks close enough to the two cases above that I wanted to add another data point.

I’ve already opened a GitHub Support ticket and requested a manual review, so this post is only to document that another similar case happened.
