Being banned from programming by an automatic judge.
What a dystopian present - welcome to the future in which you are only allowed to program computers by the grace of Google/OpenAI/Anthropic. If their AI choose to kick you out then go get a job at the supermarket.
The real issue here is not to get people unbanned.
The real issue is to completely remove the concept of people being banned from programming without very significant oversight and recourse and general unwillingness on the part of Google to do so. Instead Google just builds it in...... hmmmm this maybe is crossing some counter/number/threshold, lets ban!

If Google had any real leadership they'd ban the ban except under the most utterly extreme circumstances. But that won't happen either - banning you from Gemini will just continue to be something the Google devs can throw in as some sort of error condition, or when their code doesn't understand something.
Google should treat its customers like parents treat their children - with kindness, empathy and understanding - and execution is not one of the methods that parents use for addressing children's behavior problems, unlike Google, where execution of the customer is simply a thing a Google developer might choose to implement by calling the "banCustomerForever" endpoint.
Again if there was any leadership at Google, that "ban customer account" endpoint would be literally removed so all the developers who have no understanding of consequences just don't have it as an option.
There's SO MANY other options for addressing issues and Google takes none of them
- they could send an email
- they could put a warning on the account UI
- they could give a 4 hour timeout from the service to ensure the message is heard
- they could phone you up or send a text message saying there's a problem
- they could impose some limit that prevents the behavior.
but no, at Google they would rather put their customer accounts up against the wall and pull the trigger.
There's just literally no human empathy to banning people from programming. Ironic.
Google's willingness to end people's development career has to get to to the Justice Department to bring it permanently to an end.
