“	The punishment is simple. You get muted or devoiced for a period of time. For the first offense, you are devoiced for 4 (four) seconds. The next offense quadruples the time devoiced to 16 (sixteen) seconds and so on. After your mute time is over a year, you get kickbanned from the channel.	”

“	Every 6 (six) hours (12:00am, 6:00am, 12:00pm, and 6:00pm US.EST (GMT -5)) the *next* mute time gets cut in half. This creates a theoretical max devoice time of just over 9 (nine) hours, however some circumstances can result in a longer mute time. Circumstances that result in longer mute times include being manually muted by a human moderator, and Moderator lagging and extra lines going through when they shouldn't have.	”

Assume the first ban occurs 1ms after 00:00 (12am)

Ban time	Total time	Next ban time
00:00:04	00:00:04	00:00:16
00:00:16	00:00:20	00:01:04
00:01:04	00:01:24	00:04:16
00:04:16	00:05:40	00:17:04
00:17:04	00:22:44	01:08:16
01:08:16	01:31:00	04:33:04
04:33:04	06:04:04	09:06:08 (2*ban_time, as we've passed 6 hrs)
09:06:08	15:10:12	18:12:16 (2*ban_time, as we've passed 12 hrs)
18:12:16	33:22:28	09:06:08 (0.5 for 18 hrs, 0.5 for 24 hrs, 0.5 for 30 hrs = 0.5*ban_time)
09:06:08	42:28:36	09:06:08 (0.5 for 36 hrs, 0.5 for 42 hrs = 1*ban_time)
09:06:08	51:36:44	18:12:16 (0.5 for 48 hrs, = 2*ban_time)

So theoretical max is 18:12:16?

Another timing alternative: An 18:12:16 theoretical mute means you can cross either 3 (shown above) OR 4 grace thresholds. If you cross 4, then next mute time is 4.5 hours - which is within the window, so the next mute along is 4*4.5 again (I'm rounding heavily here), returning you to 18 hours mute. --Nemo
