Hey everyone your fellow doomed IDLER here after many hours of sitting on IDLE and multiple hours of researching to give you the best tips to avoid IDLE. Now a lot of the IDLE symptoms are simply because you REALLY are getting Soft banned. This soft ban being different from the soft ban you've received in the past as where the old one just made pokes flee and pokestops rendered useless until 40 spins or w/e.
Now this new softban actually removes Pokestops+Pokemon not giving us a chance to even remove said soft ban. This also explains why our bots get stuck in the infinite loop of trying to get an item without actually ever receiving one and then when we relog it puts us in IDLE. IDLE is just pokefarmer telling us it can't find anything to run to so it does nothing. Now none of this is concrete but from what i've noticed the softban seems to happen on the driving Speed the most, (still happens on other speeds just way less)
Earlier I was idled maybe 4/5 times in a row using same setting and then logging on to phone to clarify that I had been new softbanned and I REALLY couldnt see anything but the map no pokestops no pokemon. Though after learning the cause was because of the new softban I decided to try to figure out how I could extend the life of the bot and try not to receive said soft ban.
So I tested it by firstly changing my walking speed from driving to biking. BIG DIFFERENCE now it hasn't been tested lengthfully but the bot has been running 5/6 times longer than it would on driving before IDLING (yet to idle). Though like I said this just lowers the rate of receiving the new softban because I have read a post the other day claiming something similar and the user still receiving the soft ban be it much longer than he wouldve gotten via the other walking speed.
As I am still typing this both bots are still running smoothly far surpassing the run time of the 4/5 idles I received earlier. Perhaps the bot is being detected through the manner of how its running around I honestly am not sure though lowering the walking speed for me at least has increased the bots lifetime considerably.
EDIT
A word of caution though another detection method they seem to have been using is them being able to detect when you're running multiple bots at the same time so youd have to experiment and see what works best and how many can run without hitting the IDLE soft ban
So far ive been running two bots side by side with no problems yet I will continue to update through-out the day to anyone interested.
### CURRENT CONSIDERED TRIGGERS ###
Logging in with 3 or more Bot's on one pc
Doing mass transfers/Mass Evolves
Moving at to fast of a speed consistently (the constant speed part could be a trigger initself (Like oh you went from a standing position to moving 50mph instantly to another spot and then stopped instantly and started instantly at 50mph) Thought I can't see the code so I don't know if the speed fluctuates when the bot it moving.
