Thanks for that. In general, links can be temporarily banned due to breaching the daily bandwidth limits. 

 

It should take a full 24 hours for the ban to be lifted on your account after which you'll be able to share files again. We wouldn't be able to remove this temporary ban manually on our end.

 

Subsequent bans will expire in 48 hours, 96 hours, and so on exponentially.
