First, change your birth year to 2020 on that account, then record a video as requested by Facebook, and wait for the result. The recovery rate will be 60% if done correctly. I hope Facebook won't fix it soon.
Note: If it starts downloading information, this account is probably done for.

In practice, this is one of the few options still worth trying, but the outcome depends heavily on the account’s history and completing the verification steps properly, so there’s no guarantee of success.

This is no longer effective.

This option is no longer valid; the algorithm from Meta has changed.
 
It's very easy to solve this problem, bro. You can use account recovery support via email or your phone number, or you can appeal this to Facebook.

Checkpoints are usually triggered by account security or unusual activity, especially on newer profiles.


Best practice is to follow the in-platform review flow as requested and wait for the decision. Avoid changing core profile details during review — accounts that pass normally regain access, while repeated changes tend to make things worse.

In reality, it's just a matter of luck; there's no method that's 100% foolproof. However, this is an option you should try. The probability is about 60-70%.

I will try this method and see if the results are as expected
 
Be careful with “tricks” like that those signals are easy for Meta to flag and often make things worse. Your best odds are a clean appeal with accurate info and patience, not trying to game the checks.
 
Changing personal details to manipulate verification can violate Facebook’s terms and may permanently lock the account. The safer approach is to complete the requested verification honestly and wait for Meta’s decision through official recovery flows. If data download starts, it usually indicates the account is disabled.
 
If that account isn't too important, you can try appealing directly, then you can try adding the account to a Business Manager book to use the company's support privileges to request a review of the interface for bugs.
 
In practice, this can still be one of the options to try, but the result often depends on the account’s history and whether the required verification steps are completed correctly. Because of that, the outcome isn’t always guaranteed.
