It may be no reason to you, but Snap had a reason. You will have to work with them to resolve it (if it can be resolved). Here is a link that may answer your issue→https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/a/locked

Sir, it’s an iMEI ban. Once you’ve violeted the terms twice they BAN. There’s a difference between ban and temporary lock. You are not able to do anything about your account being banned, but their are steps to unlock your account if it’s only locked. As Lawrence has already said this is strictly an iMEI lock. Switching sim cards, dates, and etc won’t fix it. Creating a new account with your existing details from you banned account may sound silliy, but it can be done and you won’t be banned. Even if you use the same number, email, name and birthday you won’t get banned on the new phone on the new account as long as you don’t violate the terms. Again, the ONLY fix is a new device. Using your old sim in the new device will not effect snap at all. I have a 13 Pro Max, lost 7 years worth of memories the pain is real. Snap is not merciful either… likely the device will be banned forever until I get a new one… hope this helped.
