No Pokemon returned due to soft ban
Matsu16 opened this issue · 193 comments
No pokemon. 2 minutes ago it was still working. whats going on. no errors ..scans are just fine
it seems there is a problem with having a lot of accounts.
i did a test on a small area on my city, with 2 accounts it all looks okay, so i expand the radius to 2,7KM covering my whole city with 12 accounts.
i see then a lot less pokemons then there should be, some area's are blank.
so it seems that it then goes to fast, a full scan take roughly 4 minutes.
It starts up perfectly but it stops showing after like 5 min. Got 240 accounts on 4km
How do i post javascript console?
did another run on a total different location outside my city, no pokemns show up anymore.. it keeps on scanning but nothing pops up.
no error in javascript console ( or i might be looking wrong )
is it possible that the database is corrupt and how to fix it? i dont mind doing a rescan it only takes 5 minutes max..
can i just delete the database file and will it be remade??
no that is not the problem i run 1 instance just port 5000, and i did a new fresh db pull, and that doesnt work either.
it seems that nia is blocking too much requests, but then again it would trow out an error i assume.
and that is not the case.
17.94% of scan.

it just keeps on going.. so either they are sending just null, that can be it?
but how to determine if that is the case?
well what do you know... suddenly something pops up, i dont know for sure if everything is returning right now.. we must wait and let it scan for some time to see if it works again and that it is not a lucky coincidence.
edit: it goes way slower then before... dont know why but i see now pokemons popping up on the map.. its still scanning my area, at a slower rate.
I have the assumption that this is in fact be a rate-limit.
In cbea6b3 I pushed a change, which will print a warning if that's the case. Please report back whether or not you get that warning.
I am sometimes getting the warning as well, but it doesn't seem to follow any logic when it occurs. Maybe you guys find something?
i'm 99% sure you got an IP ban. i have the same issue
@nborrmann do you think you can make a notice when you get an IP ban? niatnic returns 0 of everything when it happens
got it indeed..

For me, those errors just disappear after some time.
and now i got less warnings.. so there is when you have too much accounts a possibility that it will sent nothing to you..
And if i make the area bigger. Would that solve a rate limit?
not a change... its due more accounts im afraid.. the scanning goes also slower it seems, so it might be that nia is doing their magic and limiting requests, since its slower then before and if you go to fast ( read more accounts from same IP ) then they just limit you more ( assumption im not an expert on this case ^^)
this would mean that public wifi areas would have max accounts that can connect to them, interesting...
I am only getting these errors very occasionally:
I just think were pushing to many workers. But als not an expert. Wonder how many accounts will be stable for my area then..
@nborrmann i am getting it a lot with 100 accounts
would it be possible, to in the code, add something that says if 1 account is returning 0 results after like 5 retries, skip that account
Djv2, got the same screen u got with 240 accounts on 4km.
get them now also more

This is definitely not an IP-based ban. It seems to be per account.
So adding more accounts should actually resolve this, because the time between requests on the same account will be larger
Is there a system in place in choosing which accounts scans what location?
Because Niantec uses soft-bans if an account has travelled extremly fast i.e. jumps from one location to the next instantly. I think soft-bans return zero pokemons and last for something between 0.5-3 hours. I thought it was account specific but perhaps it also is IP specific?. Anyway I guess people should not have locations very far apart if the server doesnt keep the same accounts at separate locations.
@nborrmann it definitely IS an IP-based ban. if i change my IP (via VPN), no more errors during scan
Are u saying we need te make more😂
If this were IP-based all requests would fail, instead of just a few.
The errors are soft account bans, as @johved describes.
Almost every account got a softban now. Just waiting for a solution.
for me its still working, but its better not to scan large area's with alot of accounts form same ip just to be sure
the best would be ( just a theory dunno if its possible) make it that a few accounts are attached to a small area ( so not scan large area in 1 blow ) then multiple instances running in batches ( dont know how to explain it better )
in short, you have if you have 12 accounts 4 small area;s with 3 accounts attached to 1 area, they scan it... after 100% wait 20 seconds before doing rescan..
that could limit it... maybe.
@nborrmann all i have to say is if this is really softban issues, i never knew changing my IP address would fix and get rid of softbans lol
I've been getting the message as well: "Received valid response but without any data. Possibly rate-limited?"
What i used to do was create 1 account and place it somewhere where it'll "walk" for 7 steps (a radius of 1.5km). This worked like a charm. 1 Account for each location and showing them all together on one map :)
If there's a thing to place 1 - 4 characters at one spot to increase searching i'm happy and will be glad to make more and more accounts to get a big area covered. It'd be even faster if those 4 characters on 1 spot are divided over the spot so everyone has 1500/4 radius to walk.
50% of my accounts are giving the error atm. Its not working voor me at all.
When you're soft banned you can still see pokemon, they just run away after your first pokeball.
wow.. new update i get alot of this..

I loaded 240 accounts with radius of 10000 (10Km) and no errors. More or less when finish the first scan and restarted for the second scan I didn't see any pokemon and I got that error message. I dunno if softban don't allow us to see pokemon. But in my opinion is something like hide objects (pokemons) per request per IP. It makes sense thought. If it is true we are done! Anyway nice tool!
@YonderGod is right, softban you can still see pokemon just can't catch. guess @nborrmann is wrong?
@djv2 @YonderGod Ok then, I guess we'll have to find another name for this.
Guys did you tried to cover up same area but with more than one center?
@nborrmann @YonderGod the name is IP ban, i've been saying that for many hours now. if you immediately change your IP and rescan it works fine
@djv2 maybe a temporary IP Ban or something like that. Because Now I reduced number of workers and the radius and it is working good. Just sometimes in some acc's get the error.
It's not IP based. It's per account. The error occurs when you make too many requests too quickly from one account. I can have one account banned and another working all from the same IP.
Then why does it work when you change the IP? Probably you're also pausing for a few seconds and that resets the ban. Or just logging in reset the ban.
How long does the ban take?
@nborrmann so it's better try to increase the scan delay just to test if this acc's continue getting ban?
indeed a longer delay would propably be the thing to do, prefer by config so that you can set it yourself due your own liking.
Maybe it is related to the new "driving/passenger" feature. Maybe the server detects "driving" and wants us to accept the popup before letting us continue.
I tested another map tool (slower) and it detects well the pokemons. Maybe something related with this tool. Maybe this feature that you are talking about. Anyway this map is blazing fast!
and to clarify things up.. its NOT an ip ban, since otherwise you would not get ANY data, and NO response from the server at all ( set by the time the ban would last )
What Nia does is just dropping your request with an empty packet back to you..
This means that the scan will go on but the data packet is null, meaning you dont get any information on your request.
thats why you dont see pokemons appear on the map, you simply miss data back from your request.
Now how to avoid that..
- add a longer delay on your request per account.
- this will resolve in longer scan time..
- can be fixed by adding more accounts..
This is all theory and based on how in the past on wow emulation we fight against large attacks on packets sent towards your server.. you can either drop them or turn rubish or empty crap back to the requested client ^^
@nborrmann
that could very well be the case as well, that we are not even having a ban but just the problem with the you are driving and accepting that you are a passenger...
not a bad theory.. didnt saw that comming :P
@dikkedeur your #3 add more accounts you say ;) muahahahah going for that 1mil account list lol jkjk
Is there a way to change the delay?
added now 21 accounts to my list, and i see only this now

so it seems that more accounts does more harm..
i will try smaller and more areas to see if that makes a difference.
I'm having the same issue as the above poster. Let me know if there are any logs or anything I can provide or any testing I can do to be of help.
Thanks
@dikkedeur more is not 21...more is a 100+. if 21 are softbanned and you add another 5 those might get softbanned quickly too so are basically useless. if you add 100, you will have some to spare
@djv2 i understand your point, my test was more to see if you get more of those errors when adding more accounts.
at this point it seems so, and you can then add 100+ accounts, but then it will be a matter of time since they are softbanned as well.
at this point it seems that less accounts means more accurate data, but crapload of time if the radius is too big..
more accounts will get you under the radar of nia protection it seems.
@dikkedeur i got 500 accounts on 5km All giving the same error after a while(20 min) not showing any pokemons anymore.
I was using the ahaa map before but adding more accounts was making it slower.
Iam not an expert but all the maps online got issues atm
i got now 54 accounts on a 2700 meter radius, and it filled up and after a few cycles it all disappears.. and all i get is

and it is going beserk, meaning everything is being dropped.
so more accounts does not work in general ^^
I tried both, adding more accounts and less accounts, latest branch of pogom seems to be hammering niantic servers. It'll work with a fresh account+IP for a little bit...
I suspect this is contributing to the issue above... can we try a scan delay and see if that helps?
I'm really confused now because the frontpage says we can only scan every 10s, but trying to scan a single 100m spot the application keeps redoing search every 1-2s.
@dikkedeur more accounts DOES work, you are not going big enough. i'm doing 200 > 400 > 600 accounts on 10000m scans for testing purposes and it gets better
@fourthespada i noticed that too and suspect a lie. i don't think this has a 10s delay at all
@djv running 500 accounts on 5000m. That should be enough right? . Still no pokemon after a while.
@Matsu16 yes more than enough. try changing your IP via VPN, that usually helps me. if that still doesn't work, then you must wait. time heals bans
running 64 accounts on 200 meters got same result... you can say what you want it runs first time skipping right away alot of request and with a few spins its over.. everything will be blocked.
the best method i found so far is.
multiple small areas, with low amount of accounts, that way i do get some data, not everything but you get the remaining ( hopefully ) on the next spin.
still making accounts right now, so lets see if i put 100 accounts on a very small area..
@dikkedeur what is small? 500m?
I had 14 accounts on 2x 1000m and 1x 600m in close proximity to each otherand that worked fine without the rate-limit errors. But then i escalated to 56 accounts on a couple more locations and now every account is soft-banned/IP-banned/whatever this is. And no pokemons at all on the map. I'll try removing the added locations to see if the three previous locations works with the added accounts
@dikkedeur you = small. i don't get why you don't go BIG. when you say you increase in size you are adding like 10-20. i'm adding 100+. you must be like the only person here under 100. also you need to wait. more than likely your old accounts aren't unbanned yet so when you add another ~20 it's only scanning with those new 20 and not the total ~100 whatever. you really need to stop taking tiny baby steps!!
@djv2 @dikkedeur I honestly am not covering a huge area to begin with, hence why I was only initially shooting for just 10 accounts. I'm currently at 21-22 accounts.
It's been about 30mins since the rate-limits started and the recent minutes the errors has been fewer as fewer accounts are still soft-banned. So it seems that the three locations i mentioned works with 56 accounts.
How excatly does the scanning cycle run? Does the scanning complete one location and then continuing with the next and then the next in line and so forth? Would it help to make a "circle" of locations (in order, from start to finish) so that the accounts jump the least distance each time?
@dikkedeur you use a tool to create accounts?
@totoberg123 I used https://github.com/skvvv/pikapy to make them. Working on a multithreading update right now; gave me ~200 accounts in like 3 minutes with that addition.
my ~200 accs were softbanned aswell :/ how long is the duration of a softban
Is there probably any chance to fix this? What do you think?
I created an account on this just so i could post, but from what it seems like there is too many scans going at once and/or going too fast. I modified scan.py and changed the time.sleep.
Line: 122
from: time.sleep(5)
to: time.sleep(8)
After I restarted the app, I am getting a lot less errors. I know close to nothing about coding, and was poking around it a bit. Who knows, it could have absolutely nothing to do with getting less errors.
I too get the rate limit error.
But I dont seem to get less pokemon. I have 250 accs for 1x1800m and 1x800m radius scan. I have a scanner app with 18 differnt accs and do cross chekcs with Pogom and both show the same amount of Pokemon. I get many errors but still get new pokemons. So going Big might be the way to go
@TravisDean how do you multithread with the program?
Okay for the love of god and testing purposes ^^ here we go.
Area 2700 meters, makes my whole city covered..
383 accounts ( yes @djv2 i think big enough? ^^ )
First scan was going awesome rapidly.. it was not even done logging in all the accounts when he did a rescan...
all went very well, but after 3 scans of the area it dropped all accounts one at a time..
Threads where 10...
Now that all my accounts where so called softbanned i made 1 new account ^^
entered that in the config...
started the map
Instant banned.
well not banned since you get the login successfull.
so what nia does is when a lot of requests comes from 1 ip, not ban the accounts, but dropping the requests from the IP.
its NOT an IP ban, thats different, since then you would not even be able to authenticate your accounts.
What Nia does is just sending empty packets back due you overflooding the server with requests.
I changed in scan.py time.sleep(5) to time.sleep(250)
but that didnt work...
im not a programmer..
I only have 3 threads, no idea how to increase it to see if I add more will i get that warning message more often.
I think that I just hit a IP ban.
I was running the map with 100 accounts it was doing fine till I get zero pokes on the map.
I tried using my phone to see with the same wifi connected its returning zero pokes in the sighting (I am pretty sure there are pokes around my area. I even verify it by disconnecting with my wifi and using my phone data, the pokemon came back to the sightings)
So I reset my router IP and everything works normally again. the map starts getting pokes and my phone start seeing pokemon in the sightings.
I guess nia is getting on our asses again ?
okay after all my requests being denied by nia, i changed back to a small area with only 1 account.
this was just to see how long it would take before Nia would accept new connections from my ip.
its roughly 1 hour and now suddenly Nia accepts my requests again.

so when you have hit the fan ^^
wait 1 hour, and you are good to go.
Yeah but after this hour there will be a block in ten minutes so the map is worthless right now.
totally true.. well not if you scan with 1 account, but it destroys the purpose of fast scanning large areas..
for me it works with a small area of 600 meters, it scans it with 1 account in about 15 minutes...
i do get data back, i might miss here and there some spawns.. but its better then nothing at this moment.
This setup works for me with 100 accounts. some of them gets soft-banned but it works. The largest area is around 1km
how big are you areas ??
@dikkedeur the largest ones are just around 1000m i think. I think it helps to have the one in the middle to be the first location you add.
Eventually your accounts will all be blocked. It doenst mather how u setup .. Too many requests from an ip will get it blocked
1066 accounts, last softban was after ~6minutes
18km radius (large city)
running necrobot helps to determine softban - can't use pokestops can't find em at all
I got it working with the ahaa map latest update. My entire city with 200 acc and ip change with vpn every 45 min.
Then how to slow down those requests?
It is known for a fact one cannot request more than once every 10 seconds?
I dont think slowing down helps. The problem is too many accounts from 1 ip makes too many requests.
But changing ip is not doable as server instance which has a static ip hmm without proxies or tor or something
Could be usefull info
PokemonGoF/PokemonGo-Bot#3217 (comment)
May be we should try logging in all of the acoounts with some delay? Like 1 every 5 minutes. But it would be awfully slow =(
I got this same error now, and i can't see anything on my main account with phone on my home network.
So it's an IP ban, now, is IP a perm ban or soft ban? anyone know about that?
I just got IP banned with 14 accounts on 750m radius.
How can you add a delay?
you have to modify scan.py on line 117
