Dear Partner,
We wanted to let you now that YouTube is making further adjustments to the monetization suspension logic. As a result of these adjustments, we have noticed an uptick in the number of monetization suspensions. Making long story short, YouTube has started applying one and the same logic of suspension to MCNs and on-line partners. For instance, if you have one copyright strike only your channel may be suspended according to the new rules. Please note additionally that there will no longer be a "warning period" before monetization is suspended and monetization is suspended for 3 months, not for 6 months.
We understand that you may have questions. Please let us point you to the relevant Help Center article {{

In order to have monetization reinstated, you will need to resolve the underlying copyright or TOU issues. Channels that cannot resolve the underlying copyright or TOU issues may be considered for monetization reinstatement after 3 months if they meet the following criteria:
The account is in good standing.
The account didn’t have any new copyright or community guidelines issues within the past 3 months.
The account is used in compliance with the YouTube policies.
Lastly, if you have any specific concerns regarding a channel, feel free to escalate those through our regular support window.
