So, apparently, the authentication failure message that some of us get when trying to log in basically means you’ve been banned.
This ban doesn’t show up in your penalty history — you can only see it in your account data file. I did absolutely nothing besides trying to record my gameplay. EA Support is also doing nothing with the cases about it.
No way to resolve it, no meaningful information, nothing. Posting this in the hope that some EA staff will see it, and to give everyone else with the same issue at least some clarity on what’s going on.

this response right here is correct, same thing, no penalty in account but one shows up on your EA data if you download it.
apparently mine got applied when i tried to log into the early access period (i had redeemed a twitch code) on the 7th. never even got to
login at all. just error at queue time. but somehow the reason in the EA data is "competetive_advantage" i guess redeeming early access code from twich it considered a competetive advantage. so this basically has made everyone else with this same error code miss the entire Beta. great. leave it to EA to mess up something that looked like a good thing.
