Solved

Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic.

I have received an email a couple of times saying that Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic, the first time I was able to unban the account clicking on the link, this time says "Unable to unban account", What can I do?

Thank you

    Hi Walter, Thank you for the reply, I received the email several times after that too, but I can't unban the account from 18.3.35

    Thank you for your help

    I have been receiving this same email and I have no public folders.  What is going on?
