Will I get 7 day penality ?

Hello everyone!

I wonder, suppose I logged into steam-user, set cookies for community and tradeoffer-manager.

 

When I restart a bot would that session be considered for steam backend as a new device and will I get a penality (7days without trades) ?

 

What's the steps needed to maintain stable session without getting penalitites for a trade bot.

 

I'm asking because I just switched to SDA and using steam-totp with shared_secret to generate two factor auth code (and I got 7 day penality and I can't notice whether the penality has reset or not).

If you're using two-factor authentication (via SDA or whatever), then there's no new-device cooldown, so no.

 

But if you aren't, then the answer is still no because "devices" are remembered by sentry files. Your sentry file is saved by steam-user in your appdata directory, so it will always be reused on the same machine (until you reformat or whatever).
