Suspended and shadowbanned are 2 different things :)

Another useless reply here
on both suspended and shadow banned you won't see the profile link in incognito mode ...
I said I can see the profile
 
Cookies, Cache or server side error.

Did you try logging in from another device?

Accounts' profiles can still appear normally when suspended, when shadowbanned it will instead appear as not found.

Looks like a soft ban. There are multiple kinds of bans you can get on reddit.

1) shadowban, which is the most common. Your profile url will show 404 publicly. But you will be able to login just fine. This usually happens when you get reported by reddit users.

2) Soft ban - you won’t be able login, but your profile url will not show that you are banned. This usually happens when you blatantly spam on reddit and an admin catches you.

3) Individual community ban - Doesn’t affect your posting ability in any other way. Just that you won’t be able to post in the community you got banned in.

I don't know how Reddit uses the bans hahaha

I have 3 accounts open on my mobile in Spain that have been created US IPs, and they have not given me any problem.

Does anyone know why I haven't been banned and someone else is self-banned just for logging in in another country?
 
Did it go away? Sometimes you get suspended for few days, pretty rare these days to get that instead of being perma banned but still happens.
 
Could be temp files saved by the browser or cookies? is really weird that doesn't update, did you try on another device to access the link using incognito? or could be that the ban is not applied on the website it self and is based on something else but really don't make sence since a banned account shouldn't be accesible anyway maybe they did it incorectly or using the profile link you skip the check in if you are the user since is expected to be used by anyone else and doesn't check if you are ban or no and just redirect you to your profile, just ideas since the oly way to know is by checking the code and that could be a programming error from them
