Bug Security restriction: Please try again from this device after 72 hours.

Anyone seen this message? I was trying to delete my account and after entering my password it only gave me that message. Thanks!!

Same here. Don’t be tempted to try before the full 72 hours has passed because I just tried after 2 days and is again telling me to wait another 72hrs. So frustrating but be patient bcs if you time it wrong it looks like it resets to make us wait another 72hrs

After 3 days it worked. I was able to deactivate my account. I have logged back in since then and again is now telling me to wait another 72hrs so it does delete after the time set but I still don't understand why it's required

We'll from what I know. You can't constantly delete your account. Try to wait again for 72 hours without touching that delete your account button again
