Hey Folks,
Positing this to raise awareness.
My account was recently banned and after seeing other posts and others experiencing the same thing I believe I have the same issue.
It looks like AMD 7000s series is effected at the moment with anti-lag being detected
See attached links for more information.
A lot of issues are in Counter Strike at the moment but more and more players from Apex Legends are experiencing the same issue.

I have been playing Apex for a couple years now. It is a game that I have invested a lot of time,commitment and not to mention the amount of money I spent on skins (I am weak to deny myself of the pretty digital cosmetics). I would never cheat at the game as I'm not willing to throw all that away for nothing. Recently, I upgraded and bought a new PC. I went from a 1650 super to a 7900 xtx. I was banned on the 10th of October and I received my PC just a day or two before that. On the 9th of October is when I started setting up by installing steam, apex, discord. essential programs one needs. And some time in Apex getting used to playing on a new device and setting up keybinds etc.
So it really did come as a shock when i found out I was banned the next day. I remember going through the GPU settings after playing the night before and seeing the setting for the AMD Anti-Lag and deciding to disable it but I guess i noticed this just a bit too late. I have tried disputing my case but have been told it is final and will no longer be considered.
I post now hoping that it will raise awareness of the problem and to hopefully have my account unbanned.
