I'd avoid a fixed "X days" rule. For an aged account, I'd start with normal, low-volume activity for a few days, then gradually increase activity and only start ads once everything looks normal.
The main thing is consistency-avoid suddenly doing lots of actions after the account has been inactive.

i believe that the biggest blunder is the emphassis put on the amount of days without considering the accounts general condition. an old account which has a good history nd activity will work in a completely different way compared to an account that has not been active for a while. i would pay attention to forming natural activity cycles completing the profile nd avoiding rapid spikes in activiity.

You still need to warm up your account before running ads. Maintain consistency for at least five to seven days this is the warm-up period. You can run test ads with a small budget to check for effectiveness before scaling up your spending.

Give it at least 5 - 7 days of normal activity first. Just keep it natural before doing anything heavy like running ads or managing multiple pages.

In my experience, it's generally a good idea to use an aged account naturally for about 7–14 days before doing anything significant. During that time, browse your feed, like and comment on posts, interact with friends, and make sure your profile looks complete and active. If everything stays normal, you can gradually start managing pages or running ads instead of doing everything at once.

To minimize risk, start by using dedicated settings for your ad account and gradually build credibility. Ensure the profile appears authentic, with natural and consistent activity. Only begin running ads once the account has proven to be stable, and scale up gradually to maintain long-term performance.

Use a personal Facebook account with verified identity that has no prior advertising history, and frequently post random, meaningless content to the profile to show Meta that the account is active

You should gradually build credibility for your account within a separate work configuration to minimize risk. Use a personal account that has undergone verification, has a completely clean history, and regularly post a few casual status updates so the system recognizes you as a real user. Wait until your account is solid before spending money on advertising, then gradually increase your spending limit to maintain stable performance.

I can't advise on warming up accounts to avoid platform enforcement If you're planning to advertise its better to use accounts with legitimate activity complete the account and business verification steps and build a positive history by following Meta's advertising policies.

With aged accounts the warmup is less about a set number of passive days and more about not spooking it when you take over. From what I've seen the account dying usually comes from the login environment changing suddenly, new device, new IP, new country, so match that as closely to the account's history as you can and hold it steady. I'd give it maybe a week of light normal activity (browsing, reacting, a bit of messaging) before touching ads, and don't jump straight to Business Manager stuff day one. The age already did the trust-building, your job is just not to make it look hijacked.
