I was playing Maia and suddenly got blocked, on twitch I could not see anyone else (IM rosen, Kingscrusher on Twitch) having trouble to use Lichess, and all other surfing worked fine. Was playing against Maia1, Wild guess: could be wireless keyboard reloading page rapidly or similar.
Was I IP-banned 10 minutes ago?
IP ban is very rare.You have to make something very bad for IP ban.
It should be another issue.
Also note that IP bans last forever unlike mods change their decision-So no,you are not IP banned 10 minutes ago.

- How did the "being blocked" manifest?
- Forget the wireless keyboard hypothesis, it's nonsense.
I might have use wrong word here, but Lichess firewall do block IP's automatically , as it did once earlier when I opened 25+ lichess-TV by misstake. as a part of DDOS protection. This was exactly the same experience, no contact to
Lichess.org whatsoever. My worries was that the new bot Maia might cause update loop and cause fireblock to block IP as it did once earlier when I opened 25+ lichess-TV by misstake.
See
lichess.org/@/maia1/tv for one example of malfunctioning Maia, there might be more.
If you could not access lichess for exactly 10 minutes, then it's possible you/your IP likely somehow sent too many request and got an IP ban that lasts 10 minutes. (IE, if using the API too aggressively)
Playing maia should not result in an IP ban alone.
EDIT: PS. A link to maia's TV is not constantly changing the game it shows ;) Since maia plays new games all the time
Yes, you guys have now told me all I you told in the question. Even that a very frequent update could cause similar problems. Question not answered could mean no one else experienced issues playing Maia and i maybe just happen to put a plate over some updating key or similar.
Never mind. Case closed.
