So how long until I know if I'm getting in trouble or not..?

[Continued from previous post and this is the end.]

I reported myself to the cheat reporting services in game for not being a bot.
I know, that was stupid on so many levels. It wastes their time, it relies on them reading the report and not just accepting it as a botting report, there's a chance no one even saw me not-botting in a random residential ward in the middle of the night. I know, believe me, I know.

Let me explain though.

When I came back into FFXIV I'd already been logged back to the start screen for inactivity (I read for a while between games) and I had no idea why I found my character in a different place to where I left her. The last time that happened in any game I got hackedI thought I'd been hacked again, which shot my anxiety through the roof.

I have a pretty crippling anxiety disorder so I don't deal well with surprises and if something bad happens after the surprise, I spiral into negative thoughts and emotionally implode, often resulting in doing something very, very dumb.

So after I thought I'd been hacked, I searched my character for anything different or wrong. She has all her money and items and stuff, everything seemed fine. I started to calm down a little bit.

Then I quickly found out what had happened and my anxiety went back up because I was sure someone had seen my erratic blind running around and reported me for botting.

That resulted in a spiral of thoughts about how half the server must have spontaneously decided to hold a parade through my particular part of my particular residential district and they all saw and they all decided I was a bot and reported me and I was going to lose my almost 12yr old legacy character to false charges.

(Yes, I do realise I'm completely insane.)

To dig myself out of that fantastical hole, I just absolutely HAD to talk to the people who handle the bot reports and explain what really happened and beg for their mercy. So I wrote a bot report saying I wasn't botting and all the rest of it.

It made sense in the moment, I swear it did.

Anyhow, my anxiety is now mostly back under control, but a little bit at the back of my mind is still nagging at me that I'm gonna get in huge trouble for botting or for wasting report a assessor's time, or both.

So, does anyone know how long it takes to get in trouble for such things and when I can know I'm in the clear?
