    You’re not the only one, it has something to do with anonymous login. I read that they use just a few sets of credentials for everyone using anonymous login, which on Google’s end looks like the same user downloading the same app over and over again.

    Direct link worked for a while, also still does occasionally, but yeah, it’s been harder to download new apps.

    i think because many users use anonymous login? anonymous login is like shared credentials and due to many users, it is rate limited. just try to create a dummy google account. don’t use your personal google account to avoid being banned.

    I don’t have the link where I read that but google start to ban accounts who are used with aurora. Even its ur own personal account, be aware.

    Without doubts that will impact aurora. Apk pure, is still an viable option.

      No way can’t believe this, big techs literally do anything they can to kill any possible alternative to their monopoly.

      I found an article talking about it but the way it’s worded sounds like only the accounts quota use for anonymous login as well as disposable accounts used solely for aurora are being banned. Ironically because of the blackout, most of the sources it gives aren’t accessible so I can’t see anyones personal accounts lol.
