Is reddit shadowban permanent?

Yes, a Reddit shadowban is usually permanent. Once an account gets shadowbanned, its posts and comments stop appearing publicly.
Sometimes it can happen due to Reddit’s spam filters or overuse of similar content/links, but if it’s a full shadowban, it can’t be reversed.
In that case, the best option is to use a new, clean account and post naturally to avoid detection.
 
A Reddit shadowban doesn’t go away on its own — it’s usually permanent until an admin removes it. You can still post and comment, but no one else sees your content. If you think you’ve been shadowbanned, check by logging out and visiting your profile (if it says “page not found,” you probably are). The only way to fix it is to contact Reddit support and ask them to review your account.
 
A Reddit shadowban can stay for a long time, so it's better to follow the rules and ask support nicely if you think it was a mistake.
 
Temporary most Reddit shadowbans last 3–30 days, but severe or repeated violations can lead to permanent bans.
 
It depends on the reason of the shadowban.

I have had accounts that were shadowbanned but some of them, although it's a small %, got unrestricted after a few weeks.
 
If it's a post-level filter, It might clear after few days. But if your account is shadowbanned........that's done. Reddit doesn't reverse it.
 
Is reddit shadowban permanent? Or does it go away in some time?
Reddit shadowbans arent always permanent. Some last a few days or weeks, while others can be indefinite depending on the violation. Activity and account age dont automatically lift it you often need to appeal or wait it out.
 
Reddit shadowbans are usually permanent for the account, but some temporary restrictions exist for new accounts or minor rule violations.
 
It's very likely permanent. Not always, but it would require someone from Reddit itself to remove the shadowban and in most cases they won't do that if you dm their support
 
Here's what I typed to have my shadow ban removed when I contacted support. It took 2 weeks for them to take any action.

"Hi Reddit team, I recently noticed that my posts and comments aren’t showing up publicly, and I suspect I may have been shadow-banned. I’m not sure what triggered it, but I’d really appreciate any clarification. If I violated a rule, it wasn’t intentional, and I’m happy to adjust my behavior going forward. I’d be grateful if you could review my account and let me know if there’s a way to resolve this. Thanks for your time."
 
Yes, they are usually permanent. Reddit rarely reverses them automatically over time, I think the only consistent exceptions are temporary restrictions from posting too quickly in new communities, which lift after 1-4 days
 
He is permanent yes, try to write to support and enter into a live dialogue with the admin, I was able to remove the shadow ban on several accounts.
 
Permanent in most cases, but creating a new account is faster than waiting
