Give another AI the facts it needs—not just “what should I do?”
I need practical help with a YouTube issue. The policy question: My monetization eligibility was revoked — when can I reapply? Useful context I found: If it's your first-ever rejection, you can reapply after 30 days. If you've been rejected before, or your channel was suspended after being approved, the wait is 90 days. My specific situation: [Describe what happened, including dates and messages shown] The outcome I want: [Refund, verification, appeal, account recovery, explanation, etc.] Important constraints: [Country, deadline, booking/account status, documents already submitted, budget, or other limits] Please: 1. Identify any missing facts you need before reaching a conclusion. 2. Separate platform policy, local law, and your own inference. 3. Give me the safest next steps in priority order. 4. Use current official sources where possible and flag anything that may have changed. 5. Draft a concise message I can paste to customer support. 6. Do not invent account access, guarantees, refund rights, or legal conclusions.
Why this policy exists
The YouTube Partner Program applies different waiting periods depending on your history: a first-ever rejection lets you reapply 30 days after the rejection notice, but a repeat rejection or a suspension after prior approval requires a 90-day wait from that rejection/suspension date before reapplying. Separately, regardless of how many times you've applied, you can appeal any rejection within 21 days of the decision — if the appeal succeeds, YouTube issues a final approval decision within 30 days.
