Simply put, when I play the real game, I carry two mobile batteries (power banks) with me and a 3-meter charge cable, which in fact can last me longer than 24 hours if I want to, without the need of a power outlet.
At the peak of my play, I stepped outside my house 9 in the morning and never stopped playing until midnight, except during short lunch and dinner breaks --- and game crashes, of course.
And the ironic thing about botting is that I am kinda worried that bots rarely crash and thus does not behave like the real app.
There are far crazier "real" players than me, so I don't think playing time is the primary factor, especially there are banned users in this banwave that botted far less time for each account than I do.
Plus, the phone does not go into sleep mode if you turn on battery saver and orient it upside down, or if you connect it to a power source with the right setting turned on (Android).
Pokefarmer has implemented API detection long time ago, so API update has not been an issue (not sure about the current ban wave though).
A single mistake could purge all you have got. Right now it is just half year at the most, but what about the future? What about an account you hold for 1, 2 or even more years? Better safe than sorry.
A single mistake is more than too many, and I am not the only one who is careful here. In fact, even on this forum, people recommend to use test accounts after each API update before firing up the main ones.
Why do you think people recommend so?
Also I used pokefarmer before but did not like the UI and the lack of manual path. Currently I subscribe to the hashing service.
Steady is important, but greed is greed.
The way you bot is actually less time spent on bot than I play by hand and on foot. It is very safe of course, but where is the greed? If no greed exists, what is the point of botting and holding multiple accounts?
Anyhow, One of my main points is that playing time length each day is not the primary factor. What is done and how things are done act as more important roles.
As for what trigger flags and bans, frankly every theory proposed here is pure speculation. Therefore, being careful is great, but how careful is for each individual to weigh and decide.
But, if one thinks one is careful, yet one bots multiple accounts at different locations on the same IP, and/or bots at a different country than the IP used, I can hardly call it careful botting behavior, regardless of how long one bots each day and how fast the bot travels.
