Chat ban/bug question

Hi, i just logged on and noticed i cant use the chat button, this happened to me last month but by restarting my console the bug was gone.I tried restarting my console a few times today and noticed it didn’t get fixed and i also didn’t get a message to say i got chat banned, can anyone help?

Check the news, did Russia suffer a major setback or event? Normally that’s when they disable chat, hence the current chat spam delay the implemented.

But normal chat does work, not sure about private chat.

Sometimes the chat server doesn’t connect as promptly as you’d expect.

I open up the chat window as soon as I join, and wait for it to populate then join. When it populates it’s connected.

Now if it’s inside the match, then that’s another situation all together and I haven’t encountered that.

I got it back, must’ve been a bug

chat doesnt always connect. or it gets disabled whenever something happens in russia
